Waiting for a cook

Malawah

Somalia

What we know so far

Malawah (malawax) is the Somali crepe: a thin, lacy pancake from a blender batter of flour and water, or the richer everyday version with milk, eggs and cardamom, cooked in a wide pan and eaten for breakfast folded round sugar and clarified butter, honey, or a smear of sweetened coconut milk. It is the sweet cousin of anjero, and it is also torn into stews (fiteeys) the way any Somali bread is. In Somalia it was flour and water; in the diaspora it has become an egg-and-cardamom pancake with a golden, bubbled surface.
