Khfaf are soft, airy fritters made from a simple batter of semolina, yeast, water, and sometimes a touch of sugar or milk, then deep-fried until golden and fluffy. A beloved traditional breakfast or tea-time snack in Algeria, especially in Algiers, Tlemcen, and Oran, Khfaf are enjoyed with honey, jam, or dipped in sweetened mint tea. They’re often made fresh in the morning during Ramadan, Eid, or on weekends. Their puffy, sponge-like interior and crispy edge make them a comforting and nostalgic food in Algerian households.

Common variations include using milk for richness or adding anise seeds for flavor.
