Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp semolina
  • 2½ cups lukewarm water, divided
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 3 cup of wheat flour or sorghum flour
  • 1 tsp rock salt
  • 2 tsp dried yeast
  • Dab of margarine or vegetable oil for greasing pan

Directions

1

Combine semolina and ½ cup of lukewarm water in a bowl, then bring the mixture to a boil in saucepan . Remove from heat, place in a bowl, and leave to thicken.

2

Stir cold water into the semolina mixture.

3

Stir in rock salt until fully dissolved into the mixture.

4

Stir in the wheat flour and yeast.

5

Mix in another 2 cups of lukewarm water until you get a thin batter .

6

Cover the batter and let it rest until it is risen and bubbly.

7

Grease a skillet or frying pan with a little margarine, and heat over medium heat.

8

Ladle some batter into the pan, and let it spread out. A tiny bit of flour sprinkled in the pan helps prevent sticking.

9

Cook the batter until the top surface is covered with air pockets like a sponge. Flip to the other side, and cook for about 5 seconds. Remove and let cool. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter.
