A brief history of the recipe
Pancakes have a long history, being appreciated in various cultures around the world. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, from sweet to savory. This special recipe with cherries aims to bring a note of freshness and acidity, perfect for balancing the sweetness of the pancakes. Cherries, with their intense flavors, transform an ordinary dessert into a true masterpiece!
Preparation steps
Step 1: Preparing the filling
1. Wash and pit the cherries: If using fresh cherries, wash them well and remove the pits. If you choose jarred cherries, make sure to drain them well.
2. Macerate the cherries: Place the cherries in a bowl and add the sugar. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the pancakes. This process will help release the juice from the cherries, creating a delicious filling.
Step 2: Preparing the pancakes
1. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar and salt. Add about a quarter of the milk and mix well.
2. Incorporate the flour: Gradually add the flour. Even if the batter seems thicker, don't worry, it will thin out as you go.
3. Add the remaining milk: Start gradually incorporating the rest of the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
4. Finalize the batter: Finally, add the oil and mix well. This ingredient will make the pancakes more tender.
Step 3: Frying the pancakes
1. Heat the pan: Place a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil (only for the first pancake).
2. Fry the pancakes: Pour a ladle of batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process for the rest of the batter.
Step 4: Assembling the rolls
1. Drain the cherries: After the cherries have macerated, drain them in a sieve to remove the excess juice.
2. Fill the pancakes: Place one pancake on the work surface, add a row of cherries in the middle, and carefully roll it up. Repeat for all pancakes.
3. Create the roll: Place the three filled pancakes on a pancake sheet, forming a pyramid, and roll them tightly. Continue until all pancakes are finished.
Step 5: Serving
1. Slice the rolls: Cut the rolls into slices of about 3-4 cm.
2. Decorate and serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter and decorate with whipped cream and slices of kiwi or other preferred fruits.
Useful tips
- For fluffier pancakes: You can add a teaspoon of baking powder to the batter.
- Variations: Instead of cherries, you can use other seasonal fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, to give your dessert a different flavor.
- Serving: These rolls are delicious both warm and cold, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side works wonders!
