They are good for breakfast, for a light dinner, as a hearty snack. And you can take them with you on a picnic or give your child to school. In a word, in all circumstances and always will be appropriate pancakes with meat. A recipe with step-by-step photos of this dish will be presented in this article. It seems that the cooking process is elementary simple: bake pancakes, make the filling and wrap envelopes (or rolls, as you like). But the first two stages of work provide an unusual space for culinary imagination.
The pancake dough can be on milk, kefir, whey, mineral water, boiling water and even beer. You can try to make Ukrainian plaques, American pancakes or French crepes. As for the filling, the pancakes with meat can be filled with minced meat and finely chopped chicken. Products with lamb and onions are very tasty. If you cooked pork or beef broth, then pass the pieces through a meat grinder and stuff the pancakes. Your loved ones will only be grateful. And you can also make the filling with minced meat and eggs, mushrooms, rice, green onions.
First step
We start by making the dough. Take the most popular recipe in Russia - in milk. Since our filling is unsweetened, we make the dough neutral in taste, and even a little brackish.
The first step is to prepare the products. To make the dough even, smooth and without lumps, all ingredients must be at room temperature. Because ahead of time we take out three eggs from the refrigerator. And a liter of milk can even be slightly warmed up. No matter how high quality flour you have, you still need to sift it. So you will not only break possible lumps, but also saturate it with oxygen. Sift two and a half cups of flour into a wide bowl. If we make pancakes with meat in fresh milk, then we will also need soda - ½ teaspoon. And so that the products do not stick to the pan, pour half a glass of refined vegetable oil into the dough. Do not forget about salt and sugar. Add a teaspoon of each ingredient.
Stage two: how to make pancake dough
The next step is to make the dough. Pour a liter of warm milk into a bowl. We drive in three eggs. Pour sugar with salt and soda. It is not necessary to extinguish it with vinegar. Knead the mass thoroughly. A great helper in this matter will be your mixer. We start to work at low speed. In another bowl, we should have sifted flour. Pour it in portions into the milk and egg mass. The mixer does not turn off. The main secret of a successful test for pancakes with meat is a smooth structure. No lumps of flour should remain. Your dough will turn out liquid, like low-fat sour cream. The main thing is to achieve uniformity and air structure. Therefore, we will work with the mixer for a little while until a lot of bubbles appear in the test. Now pour the vegetable oil. Then we do not whip. Scoop the dough with a ladle a couple of times and set aside for a quarter of an hour. When it rests, you can start frying pancakes.
Making the filling: stage three
We continue to consider the classic recipe for pancakes with meat with a step-by-step description of the actions. Many housewives prefer to first bake the product, and then move on to the filling. But pancakes, when cooled, become less flexible, and wrapping minced meat in them becomes problematic. Therefore, we, while the dough is "resting", move on to the third step - we will do the filling. Take the simplest - prepared minced meat. It can be veal or a mixture of pork and beef. We start the preparation of the filling by chopping the onion finely. For flavor, you can also chop a clove of garlic. Heat a pan with three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Let's lay out 230 grams of minced meat. Then we add onion and garlic. Shuffle. After some time, salt, pour pepper, coriander, sun-hops, other seasonings at your discretion. Stir fry for about five minutes. Now add half a glass of hot water. Reduce the heat, cover the pan. Stew like that for 20 minutes. Stuffing during this time will be ready, but will remain very crumbly. We use "edible cement" - an egg. Break it into a cup, mix with a little water. Add to the stuffing. Stir and simmer (all the same, over low heat and under the lid) for another five minutes.
We bake pancakes: stage four
The fourth step is to bake pancakes. We will need a good frying pan, preferably cast iron or non-stick. Many housewives have dedicated dishes on which only pancakes are fried and nothing more. These pans are inherited from mother to daughter, because the older the cooking utensils, the better it bakes. Our dough already contains vegetable oil. Therefore, the classic recipe for pancakes with meat recommends only the first time to grease the pan with fat. Pour the dough with a ladle. We move the pan so that it spreads evenly on the bottom. We bake moderately thin pancakes. Since the filling is ready for us, then immediately put it in the center of the baked circle. Wrap a roll or an envelope. If there is no filling yet, then each pancake needs to be greased with butter. So the stack of products will retain its elasticity.
Pancakes with meat: toppings recipes
If you do not have ready-made stuffing, you can do it yourself. For example, cook beef or pork, and then twist it in a meat grinder. So you get the filling for pancakes, and the broth, on the basis of which you can then make a soup. The product tab in this option is slightly different. Shred three bulbs. Fry them until golden in vegetable oil. You can add grated carrot or a clove of garlic to the onion. Add the fillet (400 grams), completely cooked and passed through a meat grinder, to the pan for vegetables. Mix and fry for another five minutes. Season to taste with salt, nutmeg. Turn off the fire, add a little cognac. And here is the recipe for pancakes with meat and eggs. We cook the ingredients for the filling separately. Cool, grind in a meat grinder. Shred and pass the onion in oil. Mix the minced meat, pour in a spoonful of melted butter.
Meat and mushroom filling
Half a kilo of beef cook in salted water with peppercorns and bay leaves. Cool and pass through a meat grinder. Shred finely two onions, one carrot three large. Fry vegetables in a pan. Mushrooms of the first category (300 grams of mushrooms, mushrooms or the like) are cleaned, washed, cut into large pieces. We send to the pan to the vegetables. Fry until mushrooms are cooked. Mix with meat. Fry. Alternatively, you can enter hard-boiled eggs in the stuffing for meat pancakes. Do you want to - drive in raw and mix well. So the filling will stay better.
There is a very original way to serve pancakes. Cook quail eggs - one for each item. Wrap whole in minced meat and pack it in an envelope from the dough. If you have not enough meat, add cabbage to the filling of pancakes. First, in a frying pan with high sides, we will fry the bulbs and carrots. Then we add to it a small fork of cabbage, chopped with small straws. This vegetable will let the juice go. You can also add half a glass of table wine to help him. Then you should cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the liquid evaporates, and the cabbage becomes soft and stops crunching. Add boiled meat to the pan, let it sweat a little more.
Pancake Bean Appetizer
We make the dough according to the classic recipe, in milk. However, the proportions of the ingredients are different. For three glasses of milk, a pancake recipe with meat and beans requires six eggs, a pound of flour and a coffee spoon of baking powder. We add no sugar, no salt, no vegetable oil. And when the dough “rests”, pour three glasses of soda into it. Stir and bake small pancakes. For the filling, grind four onions and two garlic cloves. Knead with a kilogram of raw minced meat. Fry in vegetable oil until fully cooked. We dilute four tablespoons of tomato paste in half a liter of broth. Pour in minced meat, add a can (800 g) of canned beans. Season with salt and spices, stew for about 10 minutes. Place a lettuce leaf on each pancake. In the middle we lay out a spoonful of the filling and some mayonnaise or sour cream. Fold the pancake in half. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
Chicken Bender
This dish is a pancake stuffed with meat and fried in an egg. We make the dough according to the classic recipe, in milk. For the filling, we sequentially pass through a meat grinder 300 grams of raw chicken fillet (without skin) and an onion. Grind two cloves of garlic and a bunch of parsley or dill. Salt the resulting mince, season it with spices. Ready pancakes are immediately divided in half. Lubricate one side of each part with a thin layer of minced meat. Bend the pancake half to get a quarter. When the whole filling is thus distributed, in a bowl, mix two eggs with salt and a pinch of pepper. Add a quarter cup of milk. Stir. We put a frying pan with a small amount of vegetable oil on the fire. Dip each bender in batter. Spread in preheated fat. Fry for five minutes on each side until the chicken is cooked. Separately serve sour cream.
Georgian recipe: dough
In the Caucasus, pancakes with meat are also popular. The recipe, however, obliges the oven to bake yeast dough. We heat a liter of milk, dissolve in it by a teaspoon of salt and sugar. Add 30 grams of fresh yeast. Sift 500-600 g of flour into this milk immediately. Knead until the lumps disappear. Wrap a bowl with a towel and put in a warm place. When the dough increases three times, again we get down to business. Separate the proteins from the yolks in 3 eggs. Soften butter (140 g). Add it to the yolks, whisk. In a separate container, with the help of a mixer, we turn the cooled proteins into lush, non-falling foam. Carefully introduce them into the dough. At the end we add the yolks with butter. Knead. Fry pancakes in melted butter. Dip a bird feather into it and draw it in a frying pan. Oil needs a scanty amount.
Filling
To cook a dozen pancakes with meat, you need to boil 400 g of boneless beef until cooked. Chop it. Also chop four onions and fry until golden brown. Grind as carefully as possible: three hard-boiled eggs, a bunch of dill and parsley, two garlic cloves. Combine with beef. Pour in an incomplete glass of beef broth. Salt, add a lot of Georgian seasonings. Put out. Put the filling in the middle of the pancakes. Collapse envelope. Fry a small amount of vegetable oil in a pan.
Special serving
What image does appear with the words “pancakes with meat”? Photos often show a widespread serving of the dish: dough envelopes that hide the filling. But you can offer on the table this dish is very original. For example, bake pancakes, stuff with filling and fold tightly to each other in a heat-resistant form. We put several pieces of butter in the space between the envelopes. Put the mold in a preheated oven. Ten minutes before cooking, sprinkle with grated cheese. We cut such a pancake pie in portions. And you can make a snack cake. Hot pancakes are not folded with envelopes, but greased with butter and spread a thin layer of filling. We decorate the stack with mayonnaise net and sprinkle with herbs. You can also come up with your own recipe. After all, you can take another dough as a basis, for example, on kefir, sour cream or beer. Flour can be brewed with boiling water for greater elasticity and softness of products. The filling also gives room for culinary imagination.
