Beeshee | Traditional Pancake From Armenia, Eastern Europe | TasteAtlas

Beeshee

(Bishi)

Beeshee, also known as bishi, is a thin and crispy Armenian fried treat similar to a pancake. It is usually made with a dough consisting of flour, sugar, salt, and warm water that is rolled out into very thin circles, brushed with melted butter, and then shaped into square packet-like pastries.


The dough squares are rolled out again into larger squares, brushed with melted butter, and then fried until crisp golden on both sides. These crispy fried Armenian treats are eaten warm with lots of sugar, simple syrup, or honey on top, usually for breakfast.
