Malawah ( ), also known as Malawax (), is a sweet pancake. It has origins from Somalia and is eaten regularly in Somalia, Djibouti, parts of Ethiopia and Kenya. It is also eaten in Yemen where it is possibly related to Malawach, although the latter is a flatbread.
Malawah is a plate-sized sweet pancake that is eaten for breakfast or as a snack anytime during the day. It is similar to a sweet crepe and is flavored with cardamom.
Malawah is prepared from a batter consisting of flour, milk, eggs, sugar, and spices such as cardamom and cinnamon, with a pinch of salt. The ingredients are mixed until smooth to form a pourable batter. The batter is then cooked on a lightly greased frying pan with butter or oil until golden brown on both sides. It is typically served with honey or sugar as a topping, and accompanied by tea.
