Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Pancakes:
- 1 egg
- Very cold water (approximately 300 ml)
- Flour (approximately 250 g, but you can adjust based on the desired consistency)
- 3 tablespoons of oil

Filling:
- 500 g mixed ground meat (preferably a mix of beef and pork for a richer taste)
- 200 g liver pâté (optional, but recommended for extra flavor)
- 1 large onion
- Fresh dill (a few sprigs, chopped)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Topping:
- 2 eggs
- 150 g sour cream
- 1 teaspoon of tomato paste

Serving:
- Fresh sour cream (for serving, optional)

Preparing the Pancakes

1. Beat the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the egg well with a whisk. This step is essential for achieving a uniform mixture.

2. Add Water and Flour: While continuing to whisk the egg, gradually add the cold water. Make sure the water is very cold, as this will make the pancakes fluffier. Add the flour gradually, mixing constantly until you obtain a smooth batter, similar to pancake batter.

3. Incorporate the Oil: Add the 3 tablespoons of oil to the batter and mix well. The oil will help prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan and will give them a finer texture.

4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of the pancake batter into the skillet, swirling it to distribute the batter evenly. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process until all the batter is used, placing the pancakes on a plate and covering them with a clean towel.

Preparing the Filling

5. Prepare the Onion: Finely chop the onion. In a skillet, heat a little oil and add the onion. Sauté the onion over low heat until it becomes translucent.

6. Add the Meat: Place the ground meat over the onion, mixing well. Add a little water (about 50 ml) to help the meat cook evenly. Let it simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the water evaporates and the meat is well cooked.

7. Incorporate the Pâté and Seasonings: Once the meat is cooked, let it cool slightly, then incorporate the liver pâté, chopped dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well until you achieve a homogeneous filling.

Assembling and Baking

8. Fill the Pancakes: Take one pancake and place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Fold the pancake like an envelope, tucking in the edges to seal the filling inside. Repeat until all the pancakes are filled.

9. Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a heatproof dish with a little oil and dust it with flour. Arrange the filled pancakes side by side in the dish.

10. Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, beat the 2 eggs, add the sour cream and tomato paste. Mix well, then pour the mixture over the pancakes.

11. Bake the Pancakes: Sprinkle a little chopped dill on top and place the dish in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden and fluffy.

Serving

12. Enjoy the Pancakes: Serve the pancakes warm, with a drizzle of fresh sour cream on top for added creaminess. These meat pancakes are perfect for a family dinner or to impress your guests!

Practical Tips

- Adjusting Consistency: If the batter is too thick, add a little more water. If it's too thin, add more flour.
- Filling Variations: You can experiment with different types of meat, such as chicken or turkey, or add sautéed vegetables to make the filling healthier.
- Recommended Beverages: These pancakes pair perfectly with a glass of dry white wine or a warm herbal tea for a comforting meal.

Nutritional Benefits

These pancakes are rich in protein due to the meat and liver pâté, providing a good source of iron and B vitamins. The dill not only adds a delicious flavor but also brings antioxidants and beneficial nutrients for health.
