- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 12 min
- Makes: 1 serving (160 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, gluten, honey
Ingredients
- 40 g Semolina
- 10 g Flour, all-purpose
- 1 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.5 g Baking powder
- 0.3 g Salt
- 90 g Water
- 10 g Honey
- 8 g Butter, unsalted
Method
- Blend the semolina, flour, yeast, baking powder and salt with the water into a smooth, thin, pourable batter; let it rest for 20 minutes until slightly bubbly.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with no oil, pour in a ladleful of batter, and cook without flipping for 2-3 minutes until the top is covered in tiny holes and fully set and dry.
- Repeat with the rest of the batter, stacking the cooked pancakes as you go.
- Melt the butter with the honey and warm gently until runny.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled generously with the honey-butter so it soaks into all the holes.
