Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup semolina, 1/2 cup flour, 1 tsp yeast, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1.5 cups water. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.

  2. Step 2

    Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature; it should be thin like heavy cream.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter and cook without flipping until the surface is covered with holes and looks dry, about 3 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Remove the pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with honey or butter if desired.
