Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups fine semolina; 1 cup plain flour; 1 cup whole wheat flour; 3 eggs; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 1 tablespoon instant yeast; 2 teaspoons sugar; 1 pinch salt; 1 cup warm water; 2 cups milk; 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)

Servings: persons

2 cups fine semolina
1 cup plain flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
3 eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon instant yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup warm water
2 cups milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional)

1
Combine all dry ingredients with the eggs.
2
Add the water and the milk a little at a time until you achieve a thick but runny consistency.
3
Heat a little oil in the frying pan then add just under a ladleful of batter and immediately start swirling it round the pan to get a nice even layer. Leave some space near the rim so it can come out easier.
4
Watch the holes as they appear and leave it on the heat until the top dries out.
5
Traditional beghrir is quite thick and you only cook one side. However I do like them a bit thinner. That also means you are able to turn them and lightly cook the other side. It should not take more than a minute.
6
Serve it with honey, jam or nutella.
