Msemen

Msemen

Msemen (Berber: ⵎⵙⴻⵎⴻⵏ msemen, "baked, knead") is a rich traditional form of a Berber pancake from Algeria and Morocco.[1][2] These pancakes are usually an accompaniment to a cup of aromatic morning mint tea or of creamy coffee. Msemen can be stuffed with vegetables or meat fillings.

The original name is derived from the Berber word msemen, meaning "well baked," "well knead".

The recipe uses the following ingredients: flour, semolina, dry yeast, melted butter, salt, sugar and a bit of water. These are mixed well together into a smooth dough mixture. The dough is cut into several balls, which are then rolled out and folded into square pancakes.
