Harcha Moroccan Semolina Recipe
There are several Harcha recipes. This Moroccan variation uses fine semolina and milk to make the dough, which is quite simple to produce even for beginners. These galettes bake in the pan in less than ten minutes. They can be eaten warm, drizzled with honey or butter, or dry... they're great as they are.
INGREDIENTS
- 250 g fine durum wheat semolina
- 8 cl mixed oil and melted butter
- 7 g baking powder
- 1 pinch baker's yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 20 cl milk
- For baking :
- 2 tbsp. Fine durum wheat semolina
PREPARATION
Here are my tips and tricks for making Harcha with milk:
- Place the semolina in a bowl and work with the oil and butter to coat each grain with fat.
- Dilute the baking powder in the milk and add all the ingredients to the semolina, mixing quickly without working the dough.
- The resulting dough will be liquid, so allow it to absorb the milk completely (about 20-30 min. depending on the quality of the semolina).
- Heat a thick-bottomed frying pan, sprinkle with semolina, then remove a ball of semolina dough and flatten it directly in the pan.
- Leave to cook for around 2 minutes, then turn over with a spatula.
- Once cooked and golden-brown, remove the galette from the pan. Wipe the pan clean and repeat until all the batter has been used up.
Tip: cook them on low heat to allow the insides to cook. You can also reheat them a bit the next day, and they remain just as delicious.
BESAHA!
