Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk, salt, and sugar until well combined. Gradually add the semolina flour, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Ensure the batter is smooth and consistent. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick griddle or pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, carefully drop ladlefuls of the batter onto the pan in batches. Fry each pancake until the bottom is golden brown and set, approximately 2 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 2 to 4 minutes until golden and cooked through. (Cook time per batch: 4-8 minutes)

03

Step

Remove the cooked pancakes from the pan and let them cool slightly until they are easy to handle, about 5 minutes. Roll each pancake tightly and thinly slice them into noodle-like strands. These will be your semolina 'noodles'.

04

Step

In the same pan, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to infuse the oil with a subtle warmth. Add the sliced semolina noodles to the pan and pan-fry, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and crispy, approximately 2 to 4 minutes. (Fry time: 2-4 minutes)

05

Step

Serve the crispy semolina noodles immediately. For a savory touch, sprinkle with a little salt and grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy this innovative and delicious dish as a light meal or a creative side dish.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of your favorite herbs (such as rosemary or thyme) to the batter.
If you prefer a sweeter variation, drizzle a touch of honey or maple syrup over the crispy noodles before serving.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
