Recipe for 2:
Ingredients
Pastry:
- 125 g/ 1 cup of flour, sifted
- 250 mL/ 1 cup of milk
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- 1 Tbsp of sugar
Filling:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 125 g/ 4.4 oz bacon, diced
- 1 large onion, small diced
- 250 g/ 8.8 oz mushrooms, washed and quartered
- 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
- 100 mL/ ⅓ – ½ cup cream (or half-and-half)
- ¼ cup parsley, chopped
Directions
- Mix the sifted flour with the milk, the eggs, salt and a pinch of sugar.
- Combine into a thin dough and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
- Then, cook in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes each side, or until brown to your liking.
- Makes 4 Pfannkuchen (big pancakes). If the dough is no longer thin enough to rise, dilute it with some milk or sparkling water.
- Warm pancakes and plates, which are later used for serving, in the oven at 60°C/ 140°F.
For the filling:
- For the filling, cook the roughly diced bacon in a teaspoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
- Then add the diced onion and sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Next, sauté the cleaned and quartered mushrooms until slightly softened, season with salt and pepper.
- Add the tomato paste and cook for one minute, then add the cream and whisk to combine.
- Bring the sauce to a boil briefly and season to taste.
- Add chopped parsley as a garnish before serving.
- To serve, place pancakes on a plate and spread them halfway with 1/4 of the filling.
- Fold it in half or roll it.
Enjoy with white wine or cider, and a crisp salad with yogurt dressing. It’s a very easy and quick dish. Pfannkuchen are similar to pancakes and the french crêpes. It‘s really fun!
