Msemen

Method

1. 1 Knead the flour with semolina, yeast, salt, and water for 12 minutes, then let it rise for 1 hour.
2. 2 Divide the tablets, coat them with oil, and then stretch each tablet into a thin, translucent film.
3. 3 Sprinkle semolina onto the plastic wrap before folding — this semolina layer is what separates the layers of the pancake when pan-frying.
4. 4 Spread butter on the film, then fold it into a three-layered square and press gently.
5. 5 Pan-fry for 3 minutes on each side, then gently tap the pancake to separate the layers. Serve with honey.

• Air fryer 49 min

  Replace step 5: Place the square cakes on perforated parchment paper and air fry at 190 degrees for 9 minutes, flipping at the 5th minute; no need to spray oil as the butter in step 4 is enough to brown the layers.
