Ingredients
- •300 g fine semolina
- •1 tbsp sugar
- •2 tsp baking powder
- •1/2 tsp salt
- •90 g butter, melted
- •180 ml milk
Directions
- 1Mix the semolina, sugar, baking powder and salt, then rub in the melted butter with your fingertips.
- 2Add the milk a little at a time until it just comes together. Do not knead it.
- 3Rest fifteen minutes so the semolina swells and absorbs the liquid.
- 4Press into rounds about a centimetre thick, straight in the pan or in a ring.
- 5Cook in a dry pan over medium-low heat for six minutes a side until golden and set.
- 6Split while warm and fill with honey, butter or soft cheese.
💡 Harcha is pressed, never kneaded. Working it develops the semolina and you lose the sandy crumb that defines it.
