Malawah (Somali Sweet Pancake)

Often we only know what is possible when someone shows us. If you grew up in Europe or the US opening any food magazine you probably never saw any hands in it that looked Like mine but, hands create a human element in an image. They bring an image to life and tell a story. The color of these hands often creates a different narrative that hasn’t been told yet.

Amaka from sugarhammock and nadiyajhussain shared their experience as women of color using their hands to enhance their imagery and their reluctance to do so in the beginning or the rejection they faced in society to use their hands in images.

The first time I saw brown hands in an image was with @abrowntable. It showed me what is possible & that incorporating my hands into images wasn’t impossible. Representation matters in ways we can’t begin to realize. For the past decade I believe there has been a shit to create a more inclusive space & it’s exciting to see, hear and taste this change 💖💖

So today ill be sharing this fun recipe called Malawah, with are Somali Sweet Pancakes, which I spruced up with some Apple Sauce. Somalis tend to call these Pancakes Malawah, a name usually used by Jewish people for a flatbread, which is different from these pancakes. In regards to the making of the pancakes there are a number of ways of making the pancakes.

The first one by not flipping it over and leaving one side light brown tp white and spongy.

The second techniques is by putting the dough into the pan in a circular motion, which give the Malawah the distinct circular look that they usually have.
