Maghrebi Jewish pancake

About this dish

Mofletta (Hebrew: מופלטה, also Mufleta, Mofleta, Moufleta etc.) is a Maghrebi Jewish pancake traditionally eaten during the Mimouna celebration, the day after Passover. Mofletta is a thin crêpe made from water, flour, and oil. The dough is rolled out thinly and cooked in a greased frying pan until it is yellow-brown. It is usually eaten warm and is spread with butter, honey, syrup, jam, walnuts, pistachios, or dried fruits. The Mimouna holiday, brought to Israel by the Jewish communities of Maghreb, notably Jews in Morocco, is celebrated immediately after Passover. In the evening, a feast of fruit, confectionery, and pastries is set out for neighbors and visitors, and mofletta is one of the dishes traditionally served.
