- 1.5 cups Warm water

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water, whisking until a smooth, pourable batter forms. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
⏱️ 30 minutes - 2
While the batter rises, prepare the date syrup. In a small saucepan, combine chopped dates with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dates are very soft and have formed a thick syrup. Mash the dates with a fork or potato masher. Stir in cardamom if using. Strain if a smoother syrup is desired, or leave as is.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each Zahw, similar to making pancakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more ghee or butter as needed.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Serve the warm Zahw immediately, drizzled generously with the prepared Batheg (date syrup).
💡 نصائح احترافية: Ensure the skillet is not too hot to prevent burning the Zahw before it cooks through.
💡 نصائح احترافية
- ✓The consistency of the batter should be similar to pancake batter.
- ✓For a richer syrup, you can simmer the dates with a bit more water and reduce it further.
- ✓Zahw can also be made slightly thicker for a more bread-like texture.
