Baghrir, known as "thousand-hole pancakes," is a light, spongy North African treat enjoyed often at breakfast or teatime, particularly in Morocco and Algeria. The pancakes have different names depending on the region. These yeast-risen pancakes, celebrated for their porous texture, soak up sweet and savoury toppings like (vegan) honey, butter, or olive oil.

What a fun and delicious recipe! Its like a cross between a pancake, a crepe, and a crumpets! My picky eater of a daughter ate four of these for lunch which was impressive! Calling them “1,000 hole pancakes” helps sell it to kids. We loved it drizzled with a little honey or maple syrup. Keep the delicious recipes coming! Would love to see more high protein items for breakfast.
