Baghrir are spongy semolina pancakes cooked on one side only, so the top fills with hundreds of tiny holes that drink up warm honey butter. This blender method makes them foolproof.

Ingredients
- 1½ cups (250 g) fine semolina
- ½ cup (60 g) flour
- 2½ cups lukewarm water
- 1 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp sugar, ½ tsp salt
Honey butter
- 4 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Blend all batter ingredients (except baking powder) 2 minutes. Rest 30 minutes until bubbly.
- Blend in baking powder for 10 seconds.
- Pour a ladle onto a hot non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook on ONE side only until the top is dry and full of holes — don’t flip.
- Cool in a single layer on a towel. Melt butter and honey together and pour over to serve.
Tips for success
- If no holes appear, your batter is too thick — add a little water.
