Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the semolina, flour, sugar, baking powder, cardamom and salt.
  2. Add the egg, milk and melted butter, then whisk until you have a smooth, fairly thick batter.
  3. Let it rest for 15 minutes so the semolina can absorb the liquid.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour in a small ladle of batter.
  5. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute.
  6. Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Serve warm, drizzled with honey or date syrup and sprinkled with walnuts.

Variations and tips

Savoury version. Leave out the sugar and cardamom and serve the bazlaa with fresh cheese and herbs.
