Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce, meats, and dairy in local markets such as Bourda or Stabroek Market, or in major supermarkets in Georgetown. Table cream (creme de leite) is usually found in the canned goods or baking aisle. If you cannot find table cream, heavy cream is a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil.
- Gradually add the flour and blend until you reach a smooth, creamy batter.
- Season with salt to taste.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan lightly brushed with oil.
- Pour a ladle of the batter into the hot pan.
- Tilt the pan to ensure the batter spreads evenly across the surface.
- Cook until the edges pull away from the pan, then flip to brown the other side.
- Set the finished pancakes aside.
- In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onion in a drizzle of oil.
- Add the ground beef and cook until the liquid has evaporated.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Add the diced tomato and cover again.
- Cook for 3 more minutes and stir well.
- Incorporate the tomato paste and season with salt to taste.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Remove from heat and let the meat sauce cool slightly.
- Stir the table cream into the meat sauce until well combined and smooth.
- Return to low heat for 5 minutes.
- Fill each pancake with a slice of mozzarella and a generous portion of the meat sauce.
- Roll up the pancakes tightly.
- Lightly grease a baking dish with a bit of the leftover sauce.
- Arrange the rolled pancakes in the baking dish.
- Cover the pancakes with the remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle the top with grated cheese.
- Bake in a preheated medium-heat oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
