The layered Moroccan pancake often served with honey is called msemen, also spelled msemmen or m’smen.
Msemen is a square, folded flatbread with multiple internal layers. Its dough commonly combines flour and fine durum-wheat semolina, and the surface is stretched thin, brushed with oil or butter, folded repeatedly, and cooked on a griddle until crisp outside and tender inside.
It is a familiar Moroccan breakfast and tea-time food, frequently served warm with honey and mint tea. Savory versions may be filled with ingredients such as onions, tomatoes, or meat, making msemen useful as both a sweet accompaniment and a meal.
Msemen is sometimes confused with baghrir, another Moroccan pancake. Baghrir is soft, round, and full of tiny holes, while msemen is folded and laminated. Khobz is a general Moroccan bread rather than the name of this distinctive layered pancake.
