Semolina Pancakes Recipe

While we were enjoying some really delicious madeleines at evening tea one of the girls said, "we are one heck of ungrateful people. We have many Desi foods that taste much better than these well marketed foreign delicacies. Huh!" And we all had to turn our heads to her ask her what happened? Then she said she had some homemade pancakes that tasted somewhat similar to madeleines Or I think EVEN BETTER than these little beauties. And her grandma who was visiting them made these pancakes for the breakfast. We all were so curious to know the about these REALLY GOOD pancakes now and wanted taste them right then but obviously that was impossible so we asked her to share detailed recipe in the WhatsApp group. Lol
So she did that and surprisingly my mom aunty already knew this recipe. They said just because you the new generation doesn't appreciate traditional sweets so we don't make them now otherwise we used to feed you these foods while you were young. And they made fun of me that your generation isn't aware of what they have and is blindly running after whatever is being made popular by good marketing. It was getting on my ego now so I just rolled up my sleeves started gathering the ingredients. And after o5ne hour, with the help of my sweet sis, I was able to present these lovely pancakes. They were really a hit!! My sis even kept some for her friends visiting in the evening. And everybody who had these pancakes had happy expressions. Alhamdulillah! :D

I know, I know you want to know the recipe now so here it is,
