Salted Pancakes with Minced Meat
Ingredients
For the Pancakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Minced Meat Filling:
- 1/2 pound ground beef or any minced meat of your choice
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and melted butter or oil. Mix well.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest while you prepare the filling.
- Cook the Minced Meat Filling:
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent.
- Add the ground beef (or minced meat) to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
- Once the meat is browned, add the diced bell peppers and tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Season the mixture with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour a ladleful of pancake batter onto the skillet to form a pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Spoon a portion of the minced meat filling onto one half of the pancake. Fold the other half over the filling to create a half-moon shape.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the pancake is cooked through and golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter and filling.
- Serve:
- Serve the salted pancakes with minced meat warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy the savory flavors of these delicious pancakes for breakfast, brunch, or a hearty meal!
