    About Beghrir Recipe

    Beghrir are tender, spongy pancakes which has a honeycomb like texture on them. These are made with basic ingredients which you already have on hand. The pancakes are made with semolina | rava | sooji. The texture of the pancakes are fluffy and spongy with tons of holes on them. In that case, you will love my Savoury Semolina Cake.

    Batter for beghrir is made with semolina, yeast and flour which gives hundreds of holes over the pancakes. This gives beghrir its unique texture and appearance. The unique porous texture of pancakes is achieved by the right texture of batter. So make sure the batter is not too thick or too thin. 

    Beghrir are normally cooked only on one side, in some regions of Morocco, they are flipped and cooked which might be referred to as khringos (Moroccan fritters). 

    Leftover beghrir are best stored in freezer, with a small piece of plastic wrap or wax paper between each pancake.

    Small amount of plain flour is used in the batter for achieving the texture.

    Dry Yeast

    Yeast helps fermenting the batter quickly and makes lots of bubbles over the surface of the pancakes.
