With a delicate texture and rich flavor, these pancakes quickly become a family favorite. Let's discover together how to create this delicacy, step by step.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4 (approximately 8 pancakes)

Ingredients:

- 150 g sifted wheat flour
- 300 ml fresh milk
- 2 large eggs, preferably from free-range chickens
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of oil (sunflower or olive)
- 100 g grated cheese or mozzarella (for a more intense flavor)
- Grated parmesan, to taste (optional but recommended for an extra flavor)

Preparation:

1. Sifting the flour: Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl. This step is essential to achieve a fine and even texture, free of lumps. If you have time, you can use a larger sieve to also aerate the flour.

2. Preparing the mixture: Add the two whole eggs, a pinch of salt, the two tablespoons of oil, and the fresh milk to the bowl with flour. Use a whisk to combine the ingredients. Beat well until you obtain a homogeneous and slightly frothy mixture. This is the key to airy and fluffy pancakes.

3. Adding the cheese: Incorporating the 50 g of grated cheese into the pancake batter will add a note of filling and flavor, turning each bite into a delicious experience. Gently mix to avoid letting the cheese settle at the bottom of the bowl.

4. Heating the pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. It is important not to use too much oil, as the pancakes should be lightly browned, not yellowed.

5. Cooking the pancakes: Use a ladle or measuring cup to pour the mixture into the skillet. Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the edges turn golden. To flip them without breaking, use a wider spatula to lift the pancake from the center.

6. Filling and serving: Once the pancakes are ready, carefully remove them from the skillet and sprinkle each pancake with grated parmesan, then fold them in half. Place them in a serving dish. You can also sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top for an appetizing appearance.

7. Serving suggestions: These pancakes are served warm, alongside a fresh salad. A combination of oven-roasted cherry tomatoes, with a little olive oil and fresh basil, will add a fresh note and balance the flavor of the cheese.

Practical tips:

- What type of cheese to choose? Cheese or mozzarella are the most common choices, but a combination of goat cheese with parmesan can offer an interesting taste and distinct aroma.
- Variations: You can add herbs to the batter, such as basil or dill, to bring an extra flavor. Additionally, if you want a more intense taste, you can experiment with smoked cheeses.
- Nutritional values: A serving of 2 pancakes contains approximately 350 calories, rich in protein due to the eggs and cheese, and provides essential calcium for bones.

Frequently asked questions:

- Can I make the pancakes in advance? Yes, you can prepare the pancakes a day ahead and keep them in the fridge. Reheat them in the skillet or microwave before serving.
- How can I prevent sticking? Make sure the skillet is well heated and that you use enough oil. If you notice they are sticking, it might be time to change the skillet.
