Harcha - Moroccan Semolina Skillet Scones

Do you LOVE Moroccan food as much as I do? That perfect balance of Middle Eastern, French and African fusion. It makes a lovely breakfast as is with fruit preserves or peach butter as I had here. Add some salty cheese for more flavor to this meal – Cypress halloumi, the Middle Eastern grilling cheese, would be great or some aged Manchego.

There are such a large varieties of pancakes and flatbreads in the Middle East and Arabic North Africa.  These quick and easy skillet cooked scones are just one of the delicious varieties. If you can’t source semolina, cornmeal would also be a great substitute. If you’d like a little extra flavor, you can also add a splash or rose water or orange blossom water.

Before we get to today’s recipe, let’s take a look at some other pancakes and flatbreads you might want to try for weekend breakfast/brunch!

After they are cooked, they reminded me of scones – hence the description.

  1. I made these too and we all loved them. I wasn’t expecting them to be so addictive — but I couldn’t stop myself from snacking on them. I love your crinkly cut harcha.
