M'shewsha - Algerian Egg Dish for Breakfast or Coffee image

This is a traditional family recipe for M'shewsha. M'shewsha is a delicious Algerian dish made with lots of eggs, a little semolina & a little flour. You pour warm honey over it & allow it to soak in........delicious! M'shewsha can be enjoyed for breakfast or with afternoon coffee - it tastes like a cross between a fluffy pancake & French toast! Traditional, it is thought to give you a lot of strength - manual labourers eat it often, as do women who've just had a baby! This is also great for Suhor during Ramadan - yum!

Time 22m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 large eggs
100 ml vegetable oil or 100 ml canola oil
1 tablespoon fine semolina (really heaped)
2 tablespoons plain flour (really heaped)
1 1/2-2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring or 1/2 teaspoon extract
1 pinch salt
1/2-3/4 cup honey

Steps:

  • Pour all the ingredients into a blender / liquidizer & mix well.
  • Pour into a large (25cm-30cm) non stick frying pan / skillet. If you don't have a non stick pan, just wipe or spray with a littlle cooking oil first.
  • Cook on a low- only just medium heat with the lid on until it is puffed up, the sides come away from the pan & the top is almost totally firm & no longer sticky - this should take about 15 minutes.
  • Carefully, slide the M'shewsah onto a dinner plate (you mustn't knock it or it will deflate!) Then return to the pan, with the cooked side up - hold the pan over the plate & flip carefully.
  • Cook for a further 10 - 15 minutes & turn out onto a plate.
  • Warm honey in the microwave until just warm enough to pour.
  • Cut the M'shewsha into 8 slices - but do not separate the slices. Pour the honey all over & allow to soak for a minute or two before serving.
  • You can eat M'shewsha warm or cold.
