French Pan Cakes, Savoury French Pancakes

 

French pancakes

Pancake

The perfect time to serve our simple family recipe for French pancakes is for breakfast, afternoon tea, or dessert. They are traditional, ultra-thin, sweet pancakes. Serve them alone either rolled or folded. 

In any situation, this cake batter is easy to prepare, even for the novice cook, and it saves planning time. I have tried to be as clear as possible to help you by taking you to step by step through your cakes.

French pancakes come in two flavors: sweet and savory.

Sweet French Cakes

Ingredients

• ·       250 grams of flour
• ·       eggs 4
• ·       0.5 liters of milk
• ·       1 liter of salt
• ·       50 grams of cheese
• ·       1 packet of vanilla sugar

Procedure

Step  1

Add flour and eggs to a bowl. Then, while the mixture is being combined, slowly add the milk. Add a pinch of salt and vanilla sugar.

Step 2

If possible, let the hotcakes rest for an hour. When the grill is hot, add a little butter to soften the food.

Step 3

Pour a small amount of pancake batter into the frying pan, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

Step 4

The pancakes are ready, and now you can taste them.

Savory French Cakes

Ingredients

For pancakes

1 Free-range egg

50 grams of plain flour

Milk, 150 ml.

One tablespoon of olive oil

For the filling:

40 grams of grated cheddar cheese

 40 grams of boiled grated chicken

One free-range egg.

10 g spring onion for serving

Procedure

Step 1

All of the components for the pancakes, minus the oil, should be beaten into a smooth batter.

Step 2

Brush a small amount of the olive oil into the hot frying pan while it is still on medium heat.

Step 3

When the pan is hot, slowly pour in just enough batter to cover the bottom and swirl the pan to get an even coating.

Step 4

When the pancake is movable and has a brown underside, flip it.

Step 5

Place the chicken and cheese on top of the nearly finished next side.

Step 6

To create a square, fold in each side.

step 7

Put your cracked egg into the empty slot.

Step 8

With your spatula, press the sides down to seal as the cheese melts.

Step 9

Cook the egg for 3 to 4 minutes, or until it turns white.

Step 10

Place the omelet under the grill for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the yolk is just starting to cook, depending on your preference.

Step 11

Before serving, I like to top it with chopped chives.
