Necessary ingredients
For pancakes:
- 5 eggs
- 500 ml milk
- Flour (approximately 300 g, depending on the desired consistency)
- 4 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 vanilla essence
- 1 rum essence
- Oil (for frying)
For cheese cream:
- 500 g fresh cow cheese
- 100 g sugar (2-3 tablespoons)
- 1 egg
- 100 g raisins (optional, but recommended)
For chocolate cream:
- 3 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 200 ml cream
- 4 tablespoons cocoa
- 1 rum essence
For meringue:
- 2 egg whites
Step by step: Preparing Banat pancakes
1. Preparing the pancake batter: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes frothy. Gradually add the milk, continuing to mix. Start incorporating the flour, little by little, until you obtain a smooth and fluid composition. Don't forget to add the vanilla and rum essences to give a delicious aroma to the pancakes. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
2. Frying the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Pour a ladle of batter into the pan and spread it evenly. Fry the pancake until golden on one side, then flip it and fry the other side as well. Repeat until you finish all the batter. You should get about 10-12 pancakes.
3. Preparing the cheese cream: In a bowl, mix the fresh cow cheese with the sugar, egg, and raisins. Use a fork or a mixer to obtain a uniform and creamy composition. This filling will provide a wonderful contrast with the chocolate.
4. Filling the pancakes: Take each pancake and fill it with the cheese cream, rolling them carefully. Place the filled pancakes in a greased baking dish, arranging them side by side.
5. Preparing the chocolate cream: In another bowl, combine the egg yolks with the sugar, cream, cocoa, and rum essence. Mix well until smooth. Pour this cream over the pancakes in the dish.
6. Preparing the meringue: Beat the egg whites until frothy, then gradually add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and continue beating until you obtain a firm meringue. Using a spatula, spread the meringue over the chocolate cream.
7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the dish with the pancakes in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, until the meringue becomes golden and fluffy.
Serving suggestions
These pancakes are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them with a berry sauce, a spoonful of cream, or, for an extra touch of flavor, with vanilla ice cream. A glass of sweet wine or a flavored lemonade will perfectly complement this sophisticated dessert.
Tips and variations
- If you want a healthier version, you can replace the sugar in the chocolate cream with honey or a natural sweetener.
- Experiment with different types of cheese: goat cheese or mascarpone can add an interesting note.
- Instead of raisins, you can add dried fruits or chopped nuts for an extra texture.
Nutritional information
This dessert is rich in protein due to the cheese and eggs. It also contains carbohydrates from flour and sugar, providing a quick source of energy. The calories vary depending on the ingredients used, but on average, a serving contains about 350-400 calories.
Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, whole wheat flour can be used for a heartier taste and higher nutritional value.
2. How can I store the pancakes?
These pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. They can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
3. Can I replace the chocolate with something else?
