Yields6 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time5 minsTotal Time15 mins
Ingredients
 75 Lukewarm water
 5 Baker's yeast
 1 pinch Salt
 1 Egg
 300 Flour
 300 Semolina (very, very fine semolina)
Directions
1

Mix the water and salt and dissolve the yeast in it. Add the beaten egg, then the flour and semolina. To mix the flour and semolina well, pour the dough into the blender and blend everything for 5 minutes. Then let the crepe batter rise. It is ready when the surface starts to bubble.

2

Once the batter has risen, heat a non-stick pan. Stir the batter and pour a scoop into the hot pan. Cook on low heat. Holes should form on the surface of the pancake. When the top is cooked, remove the pancake from the pan and place it on a plate smooth side down. Be sure to avoid stacking them while they are hot to prevent them from sticking together.

3

To finish, melt some butter in a saucepan, add honey, and mix everything together. Drizzle the mixture over the pancakes and serve immediately.

    Too bad I found the pancake too thick, and yet I followed the measurements... My suggestion: Add more water and a little bit of orange blossom, it enhances the flavor.

    Delicious I became familiar with this recipe when I joined my in-laws, who called it beggrir; it was delicious and still is. My children, now flown from the nest, regularly ask me for it over the phone. Thank you for posting it online; they might finally remember the amount of yeast needed.
