What you need

  • 480 ml (2 cups) warm water
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Put the semolina, flour, warm water, yeast, baking powder, sugar and salt in a blender.

  2. 2

    Blend until completely smooth, about 1 min.

  3. 3

    Pour the batter into a bowl, cover with a cloth and leave in a warm spot until the surface is foamy, 30-40 min.

  4. 4

    Stir the batter gently. It should be as thin as single cream; add a splash of water if it feels thicker.

  5. 5

    Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Do not grease it.

  6. 6

    Ladle in about 60 ml (1/4 cup) of batter and let it spread into a round about 12 cm (5 in) wide.

  7. 7

    Leave it unturned until holes cover the whole surface and the top no longer looks wet, 2-3 min.

  8. 8

    Lift the pancake onto a clean cloth, holey side up, and repeat with the rest of the batter. Lay them side by side or with a cloth between layers so they do not stick.

  9. 9

    Melt the butter with the honey in a small pan and bring it just to a boil. Take it off the heat.

  10. 10

    Spoon the warm honey butter over the pancakes and serve.
