Lebanese Semolina Pancakes (Ma'amoul Mad)

Ingredients

• 1 cup Fine semolina flour
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter
• 1 teaspoon Orange blossom water
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine 1 cup fine semolina flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
2. 2In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon orange blossom water until well combined.
3. 3Pour the wet ingredients from the medium bowl into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spoon or spatula until the ingredients are just combined into a batter. Be careful not to overmix.
4. 4Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet. Heat the oil until it shimmers, which should take about 1-2 minutes.
5. 5Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet to create each pancake. You should be able to fit 2-3 pancakes in the skillet at a time without crowding.
6. 6Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. 7Remove the cooked pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate. Repeat with any remaining batter, adding a little more vegetable oil to the skillet if needed between batches.
8. 8Serve the Lebanese semolina pancakes warm. They are delicious on their own or with your favorite toppings like honey, fresh fruit, or jam.
