Mufleta is the dish at the center of Mimouna: a butter-layered pan bread eaten the night Passover ends, stacked in warm piles and spread with honey. One small pancake carries an entire holiday of Moroccan-Jewish memory, from the courtyards of the Maghreb to the park tables of Israel (see the Mimouna record).
