M'shewsha - Algerian Egg Dish for Breakfast or Coffee

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!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour all the ingredients into a blender / liquidizer & mix well.
  2. 2
    Pour into a large (25cm-30cm) non stick frying pan / skillet. If you don't jave a non stick pan, just wipe or spray with a littlle cooking oil first.
  3. 3
    Cook on a low-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 10-15 minutes.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Cook for a further 5 minutes & turn out onto a plate.
  6. 6
    Warm honey in the microwave until just warm enough to pour.
  7. 7
    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.
  8. 8
    You can eat M'shewsha warm or cold.

DH enjoyed this for breakfast this morning. I only put the honey on half so he could taste it. He liked it better without the honey but he said either way was good. Made for Ramadan Tag...
