Preparation

How to prepare Savory Pancakes

To make the savory pancakes, first melt the butter in a small pot over low heat or in the microwave. Meanwhile, separate the egg yolks from the whites. In the bowl with the yolks, pour the cooled butter 1, add the milk gradually and mix 2. At this point, add the salt, pepper, and flour 3.

Also incorporate the sifted baking powder 4 and the grated cheese 5. Mix until you get a smooth and homogeneous batter 6.

Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with an electric mixer 7, then gently fold them into the yolk mixture a little at a time with an upward motion 8. Lightly butter a non-stick pan. Pour a not full ladle of batter 9.

Cook the pancake on one side over low heat until the first bubbles form on the surface 10. Flip the pancake with a spatula and finish cooking for one minute on the other side 11. Continue this way until all the batter is used. The savory pancakes are ready 12.
