Savory Stuffed Pancakes

Ingredients

  • Batter
    • 8 eggs
    • 2 cups flour
    • ¾ cup milk
  • Filling
    • 1½ lbs ground turkey
    • ½ onion
    • 3 cloves garlic (1½ tsp)
    • 5-6 oz tomato sauce
    • Shredded cheese (optional)

Directions

  1. Finely chop onion and garlic.
  2. Brown onion, garlic, and meat together.
  3. When the meat is browned add tomato sauce and simmer until there is no noticable liquid.
  4. Set stuffing inside
  5. Blend eggs flour and milk until smooth. It should be a little bit thicker than crepe batter.
  6. Spread batter in a heated pan. Cook for about 20 seconds then flip and cook for 20 seconds more. (This will take longer if the pan wasn’t already heated.) They should be thicker than a crepe but thinner than a traditional pancake. They should also be larger than a pancake (nearly crepe sized) so that they are big enough to fold over the stuffing.
  7. Place 2-3 tbsp of stuffing over half the pancake and fold the over the stuffing. This is the time to add cheese if you choose either in the stuffing or on top of the folded pancake.

Savannah picked up this recipe in Brazil. In fact she learned it in 1-person volume (“1 egg, 4 spoonfuls of flour and a little milk” along with the stuffing ingredients without any measurements) and we found out after 1 meal that it was worth keeping around.

Fresh berry syrup

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or triple berry)
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the berries, water, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir frequently, and bring to a low boil.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
  3. Slowly stir the cornstarch into the blueberries, taking care not to crush the blueberries.
  4. Simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla.

This leaves the berries intact but if you want a smoother syrup you can blend it after you finish.

A family favorite that we call strueberry is made with ½ strawberries and ½ blueberries.
