Easy North African Pancakes.

Several people had told me they tried some of the recipes I put on here before, so I thought I would share another.
My kids LOVE this stuff. This is an everyday food for people over here. It is usually eaten in the morning or at night as a snack.


Pancakes (or flat bread made in a pan) -These can be served with jam, syrup, or with cream cheese. Also folded with meat and cheese.

The following recipe makes 3 large pancakes. Multiply the recipe by the number of people you wish to serve.

Mix in a bowl:
1cup flour (wheat flour works great too)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup warm water

Turn out onto floured table and knead until the dough is elastic. (you may need to add a few drops of water.) With well oiled hands form the dough into ping-pong ball sized balls. On a well oil surface, with well oiled fingers flatten the balls until they are the diameter of your open hand. Fold the dough in 1/3 from top to bottom and then from side to side. You will have little squares. Again flatten the squares with your fingers until they are once again the diameter of your hand. In a pan fry both sides over moderate heat until golden crisp.

They freeze well too.
