Fluffy yeast pancakes with semolina for an airy texture, drizzled with honey butter sauce and optional orange blossom or rosewater flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup warm water (115 degrees F/46 degrees C)
  • 0.5 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semolina flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 0.75 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon orange-flower water, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a blender, combine water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and forms a creamy foam. Add milk, flour, semolina flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt. Blend for about 1 minute until smooth. Allow the mixture to rest in the blender for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Quickly blend the pancake mixture for 10 seconds, then pour 1/4 to 1/3 cup of it into the skillet. Cook until bubbles appear and the pancake top is no longer shiny, about 3 minutes. Avoid flipping. Adjust heat to ensure a light browning on the bottoms. After making a few pancakes, blend the batter briefly to maintain fluffiness.
  • For the sauce, combine butter, honey, and flower-water flavoring in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until the butter is melted and the honey is hot, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir well and drizzle about 1 tablespoon over each warm pancake before serving.
