Ingredients

  • 1 c flour
  • 1 c fine semolina
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp yeast
  • 2 c warm water
  • To fold and cook the msemen:
  • 1 1/2 c veg oil

Preparation

Step 1

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.

Add 1 1/2 c warm water, then mix to form a dough. Add more water if necessary to make a dough that is soft and easy to knead. If it's too sticky add a little flour.

Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Knead by hand for 10 mins until dough is smooth.

Step 2

Flatten and fold like an envelope. Cook.

Serve the msemen plain, with butter and honey, or jam.
To make a syrup from butter and honey, melt equal parts of butter and honey in a pan until hot and bubbling. Carefully dip the msemen in the syrup and serve.
