Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients for the batter. Bring the milk and eggs to room temperature - warm ingredients mix faster. The milk fat percentage doesn’t matter. The amounts of sugar and salt are written for a savory filling; adjust depending on your filling.
Step 2
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add sugar and salt. Lightly beat with a fork until combined - a mixer isn’t needed.
Step 3
Pour in the milk and mix again.
Step 4
Sift the flour into a large bowl to remove impurities and aerate it. The amount needed may vary; adjust by batter consistency.
Step 5
Pour a little of the egg–milk mixture into the flour. Whisk. Continue adding the liquid gradually while stirring. Adding liquid to flour (not the opposite) prevents lumps. The batter should resemble thick but pourable yogurt. Set it aside while preparing the filling.
Step 6
Prepare the filling ingredients. These pancakes can be made with mushrooms, ham, cheese, or many other options: meats, sausages, eggs, fish, greens, berries, fruits, or vegetables.
Step 7
Rinse mushrooms and pat dry well - excess moisture prevents browning. Cut them into small cubes.
Step 8
Sauté the mushrooms in a little vegetable oil until golden.
Step 9
Cut the ham into small cubes.
Step 10
Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.
Step 11
Chop the green onion.
Step 12
Combine ham, cheese, green onion, and sautéed mushrooms. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Step 13
Heat a skillet over medium heat (a pancake pan is ideal). Lightly oil it with a brush. Pour some batter and swirl to spread. Add a spoonful of filling onto the batter and press it in lightly. Pour a thin layer of batter on top. Cook until golden on the bottom, then flip.
Step 14
After flipping, press the pancake lightly so the filling bonds with the batter. Cook until golden and transfer to a plate. Repeat, oiling the skillet before each pancake.
Step 15
Serve the pancakes hot, straight from the pan. Sour cream is a great addition. Enjoy!
