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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the semolina flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it forms a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Once the dish is cooked through and lightly golden, transfer it to a serving plate.

Step 7

Drizzle with honey or serve alongside jam, and enjoy warm with coffee or tea.
