How to Make Italian Pancakes
- Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour into a large bowl.
- Create a well in the center and add 2 large eggs, lightly beaten.
- Gradually whisk in ½ cup milk, ½ cup water, and 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter until smooth. Let the batter rest for 1 hour.
- Lightly grease a large non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat.
- Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until edges are lightly browned and the pancake is set (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- While the pancakes cook, prepare the meat sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate pan. Add 1 small onion (chopped), 1 carrot (finely diced), and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Sauté until softened.
- Add 1 pound cooked ground beef (leftover bolognese works great!), 1 cup pasta sauce (your favorite!), and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
- To make the cheese sauce, melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in ⅓ cup all-purpose flour until smooth and bubbly (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until the sauce thickens and is smooth. Reduce heat and stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Spread a generous layer of the meat sauce onto each pancake.
- Roll up the pancakes tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Arrange the rolled pancakes on a serving plate and spoon the cheese sauce generously over them.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and accompanied by a side salad or chips.
