Baghrir - Moroccan pancake

Baghrir is Moroccan twist to the regular pancakes and it's very easy to make. The pancake is very soft spongy, and will soak up the syrup or honey you drizzle on it to become deliciously succulent.

Baghrir is made with semolina flour and baking powder, but the batter is more watery than the regular pancake batter. It is typically served with fruit jams or honey.
