Total preparation time: 45 minutes
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 8 pancakes
Ingredients
For the pancakes:
- 2 large eggs
- 500 g flour
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 essence of rum
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- mineral water (approximately 500 ml, adjust for consistency)
- a pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 200 g ground or crushed nuts
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
For the glaze:
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 teaspoon of cocoa
Preparation
1. Preparing the pancake batter: In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add the 4 tablespoons of sugar. Using a whisk, beat the eggs with the sugar until it completely dissolves and the mixture becomes smooth and fluffy. This step is essential for fluffy and delicious pancakes.
2. Adding wet ingredients: Once the sugar has melted, add a pinch of salt, the essence of rum, and the 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well to integrate all the ingredients.
3. Incorporating the flour: Begin to gradually incorporate the flour, mixing continuously. This will help avoid lumps. The mixture should be smooth and free of clumps.
4. Adjusting the consistency: Gradually add mineral water, mixing until you achieve a fluid consistency, but not too runny. The ideal consistency is similar to that of sour cream, so the pancakes can be easily spread in the pan.
5. Heating the pan: Place the pan on medium heat. It is important not to add oil to the pan, as we have already added oil to the batter. Wait until it is well heated so that the pancakes do not stick.
6. Cooking the pancakes: Using a ladle, pour the batter into the pan, tilting the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat the process until you finish the batter.
7. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, mix the ground nuts with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and cinnamon. This filling will give the pancakes a delicious and aromatic taste.
8. Filling the pancakes: After you have cooked all the pancakes, fill each pancake with the nut and sugar mixture, then roll them carefully.
9. Preparing the glaze: In a small pot, mix the 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and 1 teaspoon of cocoa. Place on medium heat and stir until the sugar completely melts, creating a smooth glaze.
10. Serving: Arrange the filled pancakes on a platter and pour the warm glaze over them. These nut and sugar pancakes are delicious both warm and at room temperature.
Useful tips
- Calories and nutritional benefits: A serving of nut and sugar pancakes (2 pancakes) has about 350-400 calories, depending on the filling and glaze. Nuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and antioxidants, having beneficial effects on heart health.
- Suitable ingredients: Make sure the nuts are fresh to achieve an intense flavor. If you want a more creative filling, try adding a bit of ground dark chocolate or dried fruits.
- Variations: You can experiment with different fillings, such as cottage cheese with raisins or fruit jams. For a more exotic taste, add a teaspoon of vanilla essence to the pancake batter.
- Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, but you may need to adjust the amount of mineral water since whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
- How can I make the pancakes less sweet? Reduce the amount of sugar in the batter and filling according to your preferences.
The nut and sugar pancake recipe is perfect for enjoying alongside a cup of fragrant tea or coffee. This combination will bring a touch of warmth to every morning or afternoon. Enjoy every bite and don't forget to share this recipe with your loved ones!
