Beghrir, Rghaif and Sfenj

The Moroccans have the same love for their sweet pancakes – beghrir and rghaif – as the Americans do for their pancakes and waffles, and the English for griddle cakes and scones. Until fairly recently, these pancakes were served only at breakfast time, or occasionally as a snack at mid morning. Today in many Moroccan restaurants and modern Moroccan homes they have been up-graded to dessert status, and are served warm with honey and melted butter, or honey, chopped walnuts and lemon juice at the end of a meal. And delicious they are, too.
