A Brief History of Pancakes
Pancakes have a fascinating history, having been consumed for thousands of years in various forms and variations. Whether sweet or savory, pancakes have always been a versatile dish, appreciated in different cultures. Whether you fill them with fruits, cheese, or even meat, they are a symbol of culinary comfort.

Ingredients
- 3 small containers of natural yogurt (420 g)
- 2 eggs
- 300 g flour
- 1 pinch of salt
- 500 ml sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon sunflower oil (plus oil for frying)
- 200 g cheese or grated cheese (you can use a combination)
- Spicy ketchup (optional, for serving)

Preparation Technique
1. Preparing the dough
Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl. This will help aerate the flour, ensuring that the pancakes will be fluffy. Make a well in the middle of the flour, where you will add the beaten eggs along with the yogurt. This will add creaminess and flavor to your pancakes.

2. Mixing
I recommend using a whisk or a mixer to thoroughly combine the mixture. Gradually add sparkling water to thin the batter, stirring continuously. Finally, add the tablespoon of oil and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until you achieve a smooth batter, free of lumps. It should have a consistency similar to that of sour cream.

3. Resting the dough
It is important to let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This step will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in pancakes that are easier to roll out and have a better texture.

4. Cooking the pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan, tilting the pan to evenly distribute the batter. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, until the edges begin to lift and the bottom turns golden. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Repeat this process until you finish the batter.

5. Filling the pancakes
On each pancake, add a generous layer of cheese or grated cheese. Fold the pancakes in half or roll them up, depending on your preference. You can present them on a beautiful platter at the serving table, garnished with a little grated cheese on top for an appetizing look.

6. Serving
These pancakes are delicious served warm, alongside spicy ketchup for a contrast of flavors. Don’t hesitate to pair them with a glass of dry white wine or a cold beer, which will highlight the delicious flavors of the cheese.

Practical Tips
- Choosing the cheese: You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or mozzarella, to vary the flavors.
- Accompanying drinks: A white wine or a pale beer pairs wonderfully, but you can also try iced tea with lemon for a non-alcoholic alternative.
- Variations: Try adding fresh herbs to the batter, such as dill or parsley, to add an extra layer of flavor.
- Caring for the pancakes: If you are not serving them immediately, keep the pancakes warm in an oven preheated to 80 degrees Celsius, covered with aluminum foil, to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use whole wheat flour? Yes, you can substitute white flour with whole wheat flour, but you may need to adjust the amount of sparkling water, as whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture.
- Can pancakes be frozen? Yes, pancakes can be frozen. Make sure to let them cool completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap and place them in the freezer. When you want to serve them, simply thaw them and heat them in a pan.

In conclusion, these pancakes with cheese and cheese are an excellent choice for any meal and can be easily adapted to your preferences. Don’t hesitate to experiment and add a personal touch to your recipe! I encourage you to try them and enjoy every bite! Bon appétit!
