Where to find ingredients
Find all-purpose flour, vegetable oil, and fresh produce at local supermarkets like Naivas or Carrefour. Mozzarella and table cream can be found in the dairy aisle; if table cream is unavailable, high-fat 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 the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Season the batter with a pinch of salt to taste.
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour a ladleful of batter into the hot pan.
- Tilt the pan to spread the batter thinly and evenly.
- Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is set, then flip to lightly brown the other side.
- Remove and set the pancakes aside.
- In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onion in a drizzle of oil until translucent.
- Add the ground beef and cook until the meat juices have evaporated.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let the meat cook for a few minutes.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and cover again.
- Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate the tomato paste and season with salt to taste.
- Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and allow the meat sauce to cool slightly.
- Stir in the table cream until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
- Return to low heat for 5 minutes.
- Fill each pancake with a slice of mozzarella and a spoonful of the beef sauce.
- Roll up each pancake carefully.
- Grease a baking dish with a little bit of the sauce.
- Arrange the rolled pancakes in the baking dish.
- Cover the pancakes with the remaining sauce.
- Sprinkle the top generously with grated cheese.
- Bake in a preheated medium oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
