Food is more than just sustenance—it's an experience. It brings people together, tells stories, and connects us to our heritage, culture, and memories. From the comforting aroma of a home-cooked meal to the thrill of trying something new, food has a magical way of making us feel alive. Every dish is a blend of ingredients, flavors, and techniques, crafted to nourish not only our bodies but our souls. Whether it’s a simple snack or an elaborate feast, food is the universal language that unites us
Moroccan beghrir typically use a combination of simple ingredients to create their unique, bubbly texture. Here are the most common ingredients you'll find in a beghrir recipe:
Ingredients (makes ~12 small pancakes):
1 cup fine semolina
½ cup all-purpose flour
2½ cups warm water
1 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the batter
In a blender, combine semolina, flour, warm water, yeast, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Blend for 1–2 minutes until smooth and well-mixed.
Let it rise
Pour the batter into a large bowl. Cover and let it rest in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, until bubbly and slightly risen.
Cook the beghrir
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat (no oil needed). Stir the batter gently, then pour a ladleful onto the pan.
Cook on one side only — holes will start to form as it cooks. When the top is no longer wet and the bottom is lightly golden, remove.
Serve warm
Mix melted butter with honey and drizzle generously over beghrir before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with crushed almonds or sesame seeds.
