Where to find ingredients
Find pantry staples and fresh produce at local markets like TCC (Tonga Communications Corporation) affiliated retailers or local grocery stores. Look for 'table cream' (creme de leite) in the canned goods aisle; if unavailable, a heavy cream substitute may be used, though it will change the texture slightly.
Preparation method
- In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil
- Gradually add the flour and blend until you have a smooth, creamy batter
- Season the mixture with salt to taste
- Heat a lightly oiled non-stick skillet over medium heat
- Pour one ladleful of batter into the hot skillet
- Swirl the pan to ensure the batter spreads evenly
- Cook until the edges lift and the bottom sets, then flip to lightly brown the other side
- Set the prepared pancakes aside
- In a separate pan, sauté the chopped onion in a drizzle of oil until translucent
- Add the ground beef and cook until all liquid has evaporated
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let it cook for a few minutes
- Add the diced tomatoes and cover the pan again
- Cook for another 3 minutes and stir well
- Incorporate the tomato paste and season to your preference
- Simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until the sauce thickens
- Remove from heat and allow the meat sauce to cool slightly
- Fold the table cream into the meat sauce and mix until smooth and uniform
- Return to low heat for 5 minutes
- Fill each pancake with a slice of mozzarella and a spoonful of the meat sauce
- Roll up the pancakes tightly
- Lightly grease a baking dish with a little bit of the sauce
- Arrange the rolled pancakes in the baking dish
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the pancakes
