Mix sugar and yeast together, then add warm water and stir until dissolved.

Let the yeast mixture rest while preparing the batter.

In a blender, add warm milk, semolina, flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, baking powder, one egg, and warm water.

Mix well until you get a very smooth batter.

Add the yeast mixture to the batter and mix again.

Pour the batter into a large bowl, cover, and let it rest for 45 minutes.

Heat a pan until hot, then pour some batter in the center of the pan and lower the heat to medium.

Cook the baghrir for a couple of minutes without flipping, until holes form on the surface.

Prepare honey syrup by melting butter and adding honey, then place the baghrir hole down in the syrup to serve.

For a chocolaty version, cover with chocolate paste, fold in half, and seal the edges.
