It's no secret that pancakes are traditionally a Slavic dish. At all times, they decorated the table all year round. It was pancake that became the main symbol of one of the most popular national holidays - Pancake week. It is rosy and fragrant, like the summer sun that people have been waiting for all the cold winter. Pancake recipes were passed from hostess to hostess, from generation to generation. If you want to surprise your guests, do not rack your brains for a long time, but cook stuffed pancakes. What recipes you will not find in modern cooking!
The recipe for "stuffed pancakes" is quite simple. Let's start by making the dough. For this we need: 200 grams of flour, 0.5 liters of water or milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 3 eggs, a pinch of soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
To begin with, stir the milk with flour and soda to a state of thick-thick sour cream. Leave for 2 hours. Then drive 2 eggs, after which you need to bring the dough to the consistency of liquid sour cream. Cool boiling water will help to do this (add almost a mug). And again, leave for half an hour. Fry the pancakes in a pan until they become rosy on both sides.
And a few culinary tips for the hostess: 1. The less often the dough, the thinner the pancakes, but it will be more difficult to turn them over. 2. If you add more eggs to the dough, then turning the pancake on the other side will be much easier, thus making pancakes less fragile.
Next, we will prepare the filling for our dish. Stuffed pancakes - a versatile dish. After all, you can wrap any yummy in them: cottage cheese, apples, fruits, sausage, cheese, seafood. But in this recipe we are preparing meat filling.
Option one. Filling for pancakes with minced meat
For it we need: minced meat - 400 grams (beef + pork), butter, 1-2 medium onions, salt, pepper and spices to taste.
So, pour vegetable oil into a heated frying pan and fry the onion, cut into small cubes. Then add the stuffing. It is advisable to grind it carefully with a fork so that it does not stick together in pieces. Salt, add to taste your favorite spices. Fry for a couple of minutes. If there is a desire and time, then you can skip the minced meat through a meat grinder or grind in a blender. It will then become more tender and homogeneous. Although some people like it when minced grains.
Option Two. Minced, rice and onion spring rolls
Fry onions and meat in the same way as in the first case. Boil 50 grams of rice until tender, discard in a colander, let cool. Rice is better to take steamed long-grain. We combine rice and minced meat, fry a little bit all together. And to make the filling more juicy, and the rice does not burn, add a small piece of butter during frying. Do not forget about salt and spices.
The third option. Pancakes stuffed with smoked meat and boiled meat
Take 250 grams of boiled meat. It can be pork, beef or chicken. There is someone who loves more. Smoked meats (approximately 50 grams) are cut into small cubes. Shred 1-2 bulbs. And as in previous versions, fry everything together, stirring constantly. You can, of course, take more products for the filling. You definitely will not spoil your pancakes with this.
When all the ingredients are ready, go to the finish line. On the edge of the pancake, spread about a tablespoon of minced meat and wrap it. What figure will eventually come out (“envelope”, “house”) depends only on your imagination!
The resulting stuffed pancakes are placed on a baking sheet or pan, add the butter and fry. You can also sprinkle them with grated cheese and bake in the oven. We immediately serve the hot dish on the table with sour cream or just for tea.
Pancakes stuffed with meat - a fairly high-calorie dish. And the number of calories will depend on what products the filling and pancakes themselves were prepared from. For those who follow a diet, there are different ways to reduce the calorie content of this dish:
- Use skim milk.
