M’semen - Crispy Pancakes

Ingredients for 20 pancakes

• 100 g de beurre
• 500g de farine
• 10 g de sel
• 2.5 dl d’eau
• 5 cuillères à soupe de miel ou de sucre semoule

Preparation

Sieve the flour. Add the salt then add the water bit by bit. Knead the mixture to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough.

Break the dough into small balls of about 50 grammes each.
Spread them out onto a flat, oiled surface, gently pulling and stretching the dough to make a very thin, round sheet - as thin as possible.
Stretch out the sides to produce square sheets about 6 to 8 cm on each edge.

Heat a walnut-sized piece of butter in a large frying pan. Toast the pancakes one by one in the frying pan, turning each one over to make sure both sides have a nice, golden-brown colour.
