Morocco Harcha (Semolina Flat Cakes) with Anise

Cooking

1. Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the baking powder, the semolina, sugar and salt. Combine with the butter to form crumbs.

2. Warm up the milk but do not boil it. Add the milk gradually to the butter crumbs, and form stiff dough. Shape the dough into a bowl, cover with film and set aside for 20 minutes.

3. Form ping-pong size balls, then flatten them into flat cakes about 1 cm thick. Place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment; alternatively roll them in semolina and place them directly on a baking sheet; let stand for 1 hour.

4. Heat the oven to 200°C and bake the harcha for 30 minutes until golden.

5. Serve the flat cakes warm.
