    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/2           cups  fine semolina -- (8 1/2 oz)
       1/4           cup  all-purpose flour -- (1 oz)
    1           teaspoon  active dry yeast
       1/2      teaspoon  kosher salt
    4 1/2      teaspoons  baking powder
                          melted butter -- for serving
                          honey -- for serving

Unlike French crepes, these chewy, yeasted crepes are cooked only on 
one side until bubbles set on the surface, giving them the mottled 
appearance from which they take their name. Chef Kamel Saci serves 
these crepes spread out on a platter with bowls of warm butter and 
honey for drizzling.

Makes 10 crepes
Active: 50 min
Total: 3 hr

In a blender, combine the semolina with the flour, yeast, salt, and 1 
3/4C warm water and blend on the lowest speed for 6 min (the longest 
blending time allows the semolina to become finely ground so it 
thickens the crepe batter). Add the baking powder and continue 
blending for 4 min more. Pour the crepe batter into a med bowl, cover 
with a kitchen towel,and let stand at room temp until foamy, about 2 hrs.

Heat the oven to 180F and line a baking sheet with a towel. Heat an 
8" nonstick skillet over med for 2 min. Whisk the crepe batter to 
ensure it is well mixed and pour 1/3C of the batter into the skillet. 
Cook the crepe, undisturbed, until holes set on the surface and the 
crepe has no more wet spots, 3-4 min. Transfer the crepe to a baking 
sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook more crepes with the 
remaining batter. When ready to serve, arrange the crepes on a 
serving platter and serve hot, drizzled with melted butter and warmed honey.
