1. Combine all ingredients and work into a thick dough.
2. Use a spoon to make small (about 10 cm in diameter) pancakes and fry in very hot oil until golden.
3. Serve hot as side with a creamy soup (like cream of tomato, peas etc.).
4. The couscous is crunchy while the pancakes are hot.
5. The baking powder is optional- the pancakes are lighter with it but somewhat dryer.
