6 items Moroccan meloui or malawi (plural) takes its name from the Moroccan Arabic word for “rolled.” This is an apt description since indeed these laminated Moroccan pancakes—or “crepes” as some call them—are shaped into a coil or roll before they’re flattened and cooked stove top. If prepared properly, cooked meloui retain the essence of that rolled effect and can be pulled apart and uncoiled from the outside-inward as you eat. They make wonderful breakfast or tea time fare and are most likely to be served with butter and honey, just like their square-shaped cousin, msemen.
