IN A BLENDER; Place the ingredients (except baking soda) in the blender and blend until you have a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a bowl.

ONE-BOWL METHOD; Whisk together semolina, plain flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast until well combined. Make a well in the center, add the egg and then whisk slightly. Gradually, stir in milk and water, and then whisk until you have a smooth and thin batter without lumps.

TWO-BOWL METHOD; Whisk together dry ingredients (semolina, plain flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast) in a large bowl. Whisk together wet ingredients (egg, milk, and water) in a separate bowl. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until you have a smooth batter without lumps.

Cover and let the batter rest for about 30 minutes in a warm place until it is foamy. Don’t rest your batter too long and don’t let it bubble too much, otherwise, you will not get a lot of bubbles on the surface of your pancakes.

Just before you cook the batter, stir in baking soda after dissolving it in some water. Rest the batter for about 5 minutes.

If your batter is thick after resting time (semolina tends to absorb a lot of liquid), add water a little at a time as needed to thin it. And let the batter rest again for about 10 minutes.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high. Before every use, always stir the batter well before scooping. Pour the batter carefully into the center of the hot pan. Let the batter spread itself evenly into a circle.

Cook for about 2 minutes. You will see a lot of tiny bubbles start to pop up on the surface of the pancake as it cooks. Gradually, the surface will be porous while the batter is getting dry.

Do not flip. Cook it only on one side to make spongy pancakes with a honeycomb-like surface.

Transfer to a serving plate; Do not stack the pancakes. Cover with a tea towel.

Repeat with the remaining batter; make sure to adjust the heat as necessary.

On the stovetop: In a small saucepan, heat butter and honey over low-medium heat while stirring until the butter is melted. The honey butter sauce will be ready.

In Microwave: Place the butter and honey in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute until the butter is melted. Remove and stir. Microwave again for a few seconds, remove and stir well.

They are eaten traditionally drizzled with warm honey and butter syrup or by dipping in the syrup. Yes, that’s the best way to eat them, try it once you will love it. You can also serve them with sugar, jam, chocolate spread, or other sweet syrups.
