How do I make Baghrir pancakes without a blender?

If you don't have a blender, you can still make Baghrir pancakes by mixing all the ingredients in a large bowl using an electric whisk. Just ensure that the batter is smooth and free of lumps before letting it rest for 30 minutes to allow the yeast to proof.

What are some dietary substitutions for Baghrir pancakes?

For a gluten-free version of Baghrir pancakes, you can substitute the plain flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Additionally, if you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can replace the butter with coconut oil and omit the sour cream or use a dairy-free alternative.

How should I store leftover Baghrir pancakes and spiced apples?

To store leftover Baghrir pancakes, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. For the spiced apples, store them in a separate container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat both in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.

What can I pair with Baghrir pancakes for a complete breakfast?

Baghrir pancakes pair wonderfully with a variety of toppings. Consider serving them with fresh fruits like berries or bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt for added creaminess. The spiced apples with brown butter also make a delicious topping that enhances the flavors.

Why do Baghrir pancakes have holes, and how do I achieve that texture?

The signature holes in Baghrir pancakes are created by the yeast in the batter. To achieve this texture, ensure your pan is very hot before pouring in the batter. The batter should bubble and dry out quickly, which helps form the holes. Remember, Baghrir is cooked only on one side, so do not flip them.

Tips & Tricks

Warm water should be warmer than room temperature but not hot. If no bubbles appear while cooking the pancakes, the batter may be too thick or not proofed long enough. In this case, add a couple of tablespoons of warm water and let the batter proof for an additional 15 minutes.
