Ingredients needed
*For pancakes:*
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1 egg
- 10 g melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for greasing the pan
*For filling:*
- 6 eggs
- 3-4 green onions
- 4 slices of ham
- 50 g grated cheese
- A handful of freshly chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step by step: Making the pancakes
1. Preparing the dry ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Ensure the ingredients are well mixed to avoid lumps in the batter.
2. Preparing the liquid mixture
In another bowl, beat the egg with the milk, add a pinch of pepper and the melted butter. Mix well until you get a smooth batter. This combination will add wonderful flavor to your pancakes.
3. Combining the ingredients
Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well with a whisk or a wooden spoon. If you find the batter too thick, feel free to add a little more milk until you reach the desired consistency.
4. Preparing the pan
Heat a pan over medium heat and grease it with an oiled paper towel. It’s important to repeat this step after each pancake to prevent sticking.
5. Cooking the pancakes
Using a ladle, pour the batter into the pan, forming pancakes of your desired size. Let them cook for about 1 minute, or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Then, flip the pancake to the other side and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden.
6. Repeat the process
Continue making pancakes until you finish all the batter. You should get about 6 pancakes, perfect for filling!
Making the omelette filling
1. Preparing the ingredients
Finely chop the green onions and cut the ham into suitable slices. These ingredients will give the filling a savory taste.
2. Beating the eggs
In a bowl, beat the 6 eggs with a little chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Here you can be creative and add other herbs, such as dill or oregano, for an even more intense flavor.
3. Cooking the filling
In a pan, sauté the onions and ham until softened. Then, add the beaten eggs and stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed. Cook until the eggs are fully cooked, but do not let them become too dry.
Assembling the pancakes
1. Filling the pancakes
Place one pancake on a deep plate. Put 2 tablespoons of omelette filling in the center of the pancake.
2. Forming pouches
Wrap the pancake around the filling and tie it with a parsley leaf to form a little pouch. This not only gives an attractive appearance but also provides an easy way to serve.
Serving suggestions
These golden pancakes with omelette filling are excellent served warm, alongside a fresh salad or with a portion of tomato sauce for a contrasting taste. You can also serve a flavored sour cream or a garlic yogurt sauce to add extra flavor.
