Massa Recipe


This is a traditional Burkinabe recipe (from Burkina Faso) for a classic snack of mini pancakes made from millet flour, rice and sugar. 


Ingredients: 
  • 500g millet flour 
  • bananas (optional) 
  • 50g rice 
  • 500g sugar 
  • water 
  • oil for frying 
Preparation: 
  • Mix the millet flour with a pinch of sugar and then work in enough water to form a very thick batter. Put in a warm spot, uncovered, and leave over night to ferment. 
  • The following day, add enough water to give a smooth batter that's slightly thicker than a standard pancake batter. 
  • Wash the rice, soak in water for 50 minutes then drain. 
  • Place in a food processor and process with a little water to make a thick slurry. 
  • Stir this slurry into the millet flour batter. At this point, you can add crushed bananas to the dough, if you like. 
  • Stir in sugar to taste (add water at this point if the mixture becomes too thick). 
  • Heat a crêpe pan, grease with a little oil, add the batter by the tablespoons and cook until the surface bubbles on top. 
  • Flip over and cook on the other side, until golden brown on both sides.
 Serve warm as a snack.
