There are no people in the world who are completely indifferent to pancakes. Someone does not like their souls, someone makes them for breakfast and calls them pancakes. Well, how can you refuse a tender pancake, especially if it is stuffed with meat ?! But two things can scare a beginner cook: the cooking process and energy value. Indeed, if you cook pancakes with meat, their calorie content is unlikely to please. Can pancakes be on a diet? We understand the topic and cook pancakes in haste.
Why do we love pancakes so much?
It is impossible to refuse a hot blink. Only its smell immediately causes salivation. We love them for their nutritional value, for their juiciness and taste. We also love them for their versatility, because pancakes are an original dessert on their own, but they have become an excellent base for all kinds of rolls, rolls and even pies. Pancakes can be taken to work, on a picnic, to make sandwiches and cakes with them. A very hearty and tasty appetizer will be pancakes with meat. Their caloric value a priori cannot be small, since this is a killer combination of meat and dough. But it’s not necessary to destroy pancakes in large quantities! Allow yourself a couple of pancakes in the morning, and your figure will not suffer damage. And for greater security, you can "facilitate" the recipe by adjusting the list of ingredients.
In the classic version
The calorie content of 1 pancake with meat on average reaches 120 kilocalories. This is not so much, so a couple of things will not damage the diet. In fact, pancakes with meat can even be useful, but provided that the basis will be lace and thin flour cakes. In the classic version, it is very simple to cook pancakes with meat. Their calorie content is about 240 kilocalories per 100 grams. You need to make pancake dough. A 1.5-liter saucepan will require 1 liter of milk, two tablespoons of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, three eggs, two glasses of flour. Still need a baking powder - 4 teaspoons. It can be replaced with half a teaspoon of soda. All ingredients must be combined and thoroughly kneaded until the lumps disappear and the dough reaches the consistency of sour cream.
Now you can do the cooking of the filling. To do this, cook 250 grams of minced meat, 1 egg, 1 large onion and 1 carrot. Spices and butter should be added to the minced meat to taste. Sauté carrots and onions over low heat. Add minced meat and some water to fry to simmer the mixture. In the meantime, beat the egg with water and add to the minced meat. After this, the filling should be stewed for another 5 minutes. Before adding to pancakes, it must be cooled for 20-30 minutes. For juiciness, coat each pancake with butter, and then season with the filling.
The importance of filling
If you are cooking pancakes with meat for the first time, calorie content will bother you a little less than taste. But in any case, you should understand that a home-made filling is much juicier and more useful than a purchased analogue. You can use meat of various types, but be aware that the chicken filling will come out tender and dietary. Such pancakes can be eaten even by the smallest children. The pork filling will be heavy, and therefore it is often mixed with beef. The latter, by the way, is used most often, and for cooking you need boiled beef. Since the beef is dry, you can add a little lard or meat broth to it. You will have to work a little with meat to prepare juicy pancakes with meat. The calorie content of the filling determines the overall "weight" of the dish. Grind the meat in a meat grinder, and then add onions, grated carrots and spices to the mass. Oil can not be added, and then the calorie content of the filling will significantly decrease.
How to “lighten” pancakes?
The easiest way is to start with the filling and replace the pork with chicken breast. Minced meat should not be fried, but only stewed with previously fried white cabbage and onions. Instead of salt, you can add herbs, lemon juice and soy sauce to the filling. For juiciness, you can add a little boiled rice to chicken meat. The calorie content of pancakes with meat and rice varies in the range from 137 to 150 kilocalories per 100 grams. Pancake dough should be made with mineral water, not milk. It is permissible to dilute milk with mineral water. When frying, you can do without vegetable oil, but simply heat the pan with a non-stick coating. You can add only egg whites to the dough, and save the yolks. This will even more “facilitate” the calorie content of the dish.
