Roses for Pups (Sweet-Savory Breakfast)

The ingredients for this recipe are variable, depending on the number of pancakes desired. For the pancake batter, we start by combining all the dry ingredients (flour, salt, sugar) in one bowl, and in another, the wet ingredients (milk, eggs, melted butter). It is essential that the two mixtures are well blended to achieve a homogeneous batter. Adjust the amount of liquid according to the type of flour used, to achieve the desired consistency. The decision to make chocolate or red pancakes, sweet or savory, should be made before adding cocoa or chocolate to the mixture or food coloring.

Once the batter is prepared, it is divided into two bowls. In one, melted chocolate or cocoa will be added, and in the other, red food coloring. Choosing a quality pan is crucial to avoid the batter sticking. Heat the pan over medium heat and grease the bottom with oil, using a napkin or a brush. Using a ladle, pour the batter into the pan, swirling the pan to evenly distribute the mixture across the entire surface. Cook the pancake on one side until the edges begin to lift, then flip it and cook on the other side as well. Once cooked, remove the pancakes onto a platter and spread them with the desired filling.

For the sweet filling, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk to achieve a more spreadable consistency. The savory filling is prepared by chopping the onion and dill, and the cheese is grated on a cheese grater. As with the sweet filling, adjust the consistency with milk if necessary.

Each pancake is folded in half, then once more, forming a quarter circle, which is gently rolled. Place the pancakes in coffee cups, decorating them with vanilla sugar or serving alongside fresh fruits such as strawberries or raspberries. For savory pancakes, add a little chopped dill on top or grated cheese for extra flavor.

If the cup allows, you can place two or three "roses" of pancakes in it, putting a little filling at the bottom of the cup to support them. The pancakes are soft and can be easily cut with a fork. If you opted for cocoa instead of chocolate, be careful to add the food coloring correctly to achieve a bright and attractive red.

Serve with pleasure and enjoy every bite! Enjoy your meal!
