Algerian Msemen with Butter and Honey
This recipe for Algerian msemen, these flaky and crispy crepes, is a breakfast classic in Algeria. Made with fine semolina and flour, it is hand-kneaded to achieve a soft texture inside and golden outside. Drizzled with melted butter and honey, it perfectly accompanies mint tea. If you're wondering what spices are typical of Algerian cuisine, know that cumin, paprika and ras-el-hanout are very common. This simple recipe will take you on a journey with the first bite.

Divide the dough into 8 equal balls. On a lightly oiled surface, stretch each ball into a very thin rectangle (almost transparent) using your hands.

Generously brush each rectangle with melted butter, then fold the edges toward the center to form a square. Slightly flatten with the palm of your hand.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place a msemen and cook 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.
