    salam alakum,

    I tried your recipe but it doesn’t taste same as my someli friends bread taste. their’s sweeter in taste I found this tasted the same as pancakes. so I decided to just eat with honey and dates for suhoor.

    Salaams Sarah,

    I think your friends’ bread is another type of a pancake called “malawax”. It is sweeter and thinner than angero.
