Sesame Pancake Recipes

NUT AND SESAME SEED STUFFED PANCAKES

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a large bowl, combine both flours, the yeast, sugar, salt, oil, warm milk, and ¼ cup (2 fl oz. or 60 ml) water. Knead or mix with a spatula until everything comes together in a sticky dough. Cover and set aside to rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: In a food processor, combine the nuts and sesame seeds and pulse until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl, add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, tahini, date molasses, rose water, cinnamon, and salt and mix until everything comes together in a coarse paste.
• Oil your hands and divide the dough into 12 equal portions (about the size of golf balls) and place on an oiled tray. One at a time, flatten each ball until it's slightly larger than your palm and spoon a generous tablespoon of the filling into the center. Bring the edges together to seal each parcel into a ball.
• Pour a very thin layer of vegetable oil into a large frying pan and place over medium heat. When hot, place one ball and flatten it to a wide disc with an oiled spatula. Repeat until the pan is full. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 1 minute, then flip and continue to cook until the other side is a golden brown as well. Remove from the heat and serve while still warm.
