The name ‘مصابيب’ beautifully captures the essence of this dish in Arabic. It comes from the verb ‘صبّ,’ which means ‘to pour,’ reflecting the way the batter is poured onto the griddle. In a similar vein, I think ‘pourables’ would be a fantastic English translation. It’s not just descriptive, but also retains the playful association with the pouring action.
