Total preparation time: 1 hour
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients for pancakes:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons of oil
- 200 g of flour
- 500 ml of beer (or sparkling water for a lighter version)
- Oil for frying

Ingredients for the filling:
- 300 g of minced meat (chicken, pork, or beef, as preferred)
- 200 g of cheese (cottage cheese or feta for a more intense flavor)
- 200 g of grated cheese
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for sautéing

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the pancake batter. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and the 2 tablespoons of oil until you achieve a smooth mixture. This base will make the pancakes more tender and flavorful.

2. Gradually add the flour, continuously mixing to avoid lumps. It is important to have a smooth consistency, so use a whisk or a hand mixer.

3. Thin the batter with the beer, mixing until you achieve a uniform paste. The beer not only improves the texture but also adds a subtle note of flavor.

4. Heat a non-stick pan with a little oil. Pour in a ladle of batter and swirl the pan to evenly distribute the batter. Fry the pancake on each side until golden, then repeat the process until you finish all the batter. You will get about 8-10 pancakes.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a pan, heat a little oil and sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add the minced meat and cook until browned. Don't forget to add the crushed garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the filling cool slightly.

6. In a bowl, combine the meat filling with the cheese and grated cheese. Mix well to achieve a uniform composition.

7. On each pancake, place a portion of the filling and roll them up carefully. Arrange the filled pancakes in a baking dish, making sure they are nicely arranged.

8. Preheat the oven to 180°C. If desired, you can cover the pancakes with a tomato sauce or sour cream for added flavor and creaminess. Bake the pancake casserole for 20-30 minutes, until a golden and appetizing crust forms.

Serving suggestion: Serve the pancake casserole warm, alongside a fresh vegetable salad to balance the rich taste of this main dish. You can add some fresh basil or parsley leaves for an extra touch of flavor.

Possible variations: If you want to experiment, replace the meat with mushrooms or vegetables for a vegetarian version. You can also add herbs or spices of your choice to the filling for a personal touch.
