Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Fine semolina flour
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Honey or jam (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it forms a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Pour the batter into the pan and spread it out with a spatula to form an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the bottom turns golden brown.
Using a spatula, stir and fold the mixture gently, breaking it apart into fluffy scrambled chunks (similar to breaking up soft scrambled eggs). Ensure it cooks evenly while stirring for another 4-5 minutes.
Once the dish is cooked through and lightly golden, transfer it to a serving plate.
Drizzle with honey or serve alongside jam, and enjoy warm with coffee or tea.
