Milk core pancakes are not only a delicious choice but also an excellent way to impress your guests. Let's get to work!

Preparation time:
- Preparation time: 20 minutes
- Cooking time: 30 minutes
- Total time: 50 minutes
- Number of servings: 4 (approximately 8 pancakes)

Ingredients:

For the pancakes:
- 500 ml blonde beer (choose a quality beer for better taste)
- 500 ml sparkling water
- 10 tablespoons of white wheat flour
- 2 large eggs
- A pinch of iodized salt
- Palm oil for frying

For the filling:
- Victoria salami (or another preferred type)
- Bacon (you can also use pancetta)
- Milk core (a delicious ingredient that adds creaminess)

For tzatziki sauce:
- 300 g creamy cow cheese
- 300 ml fatty goat or cow sour cream
- 50 g grated goat or sheep telemea
- 3 raw cucumbers, peeled and grated
- 4 garlic cloves, pressed
- 50 ml olive oil

Step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the pancake batter
In a large bowl, vigorously beat the two eggs together with a pinch of salt. Then, gradually add the blonde beer and sparkling water, mixing continuously. This will help create an airy and light texture. Start incorporating the flour, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a fluid but consistent batter. This mixture should have a consistency similar to that of thick sour cream.

Step 2: Resting the batter
Once the batter is ready, cover it with a clean towel and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes. This resting period will allow the gluten to relax, which will help achieve finer and easier-to-flip pancakes.

Step 3: Preparing the tzatziki sauce
Meanwhile, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese with the sour cream until they become a smooth paste. Add the grated telemea, grated cucumbers, pressed garlic, and olive oil. Mix all the ingredients well and adjust the taste with salt to preference. This flavorful sauce will perfectly complement the pancakes!

Step 4: Frying the pancakes
Heat a special pancake pan over medium heat and add a splash of palm oil. When the pan is hot, pour a ladle of batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a thin pancake. Fry for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden, then flip it with a spatula and fry the other side. Repeat the process until all the pancakes are fried. Place them on a large plate and cover them with a towel to keep warm.

Step 5: Filling the pancakes
Now comes the fun part! On each pancake, place 2 slices of salami, 2 slices of crispy bacon, and 4 pieces of milk core. Add 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce on top of the filling. Carefully roll the pancake, making sure it doesn't break, and place it on a plate.

Serving suggestions:
These milk core appetizer pancakes are perfect to be served warm, alongside a fresh salad or as part of an appetizer platter. You can also add some olives or cherry tomatoes for a splash of color and flavor!

Possible variations:
If you want to experiment, you can replace the salami with chicken or turkey for a lighter option. You can also add fried vegetables, such as peppers or mushrooms, to the filling to make them healthier.
