M’shewsha – Algerian Egg Dish for Breakfast or Coffee
Ingredients
* 5 large eggs
* 100 ml sunflower oil or vegetable oil or canola oil
* 1 tablespoon fine semolina (really heaped)
* 2 tablespoons plain flour (really heaped)
* 1 1/2-2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring or 1/2 teaspoon extract
* 1 pinch salt
* 1/2-3/4 cup honey
Directions :
1.
Pour all the ingredients into a blender / liquidizer & mix well.
2.
Pour into a large (25cm-30cm) non stick frying pan / skillet. If you don’t have a non stick pan, just wipe or spray with a littlle cooking oil first.
3.
Cook on a low- only just 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 about 15 minutes.
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.
Cook for a further 10 – 15 minutes & turn out onto a plate.
6.
Warm honey in the microwave until just warm enough to pour.
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.
You can eat M’shewsha warm or cold.
