Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients for pancakes:
- 1 egg
- 100 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Oil for frying
- A pinch of salt
- Vanilla essence

Ingredients for the filling:
- 3 tablespoons low-fat cow cheese
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Ingredients for the egg cream:
- 1 yolk
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- Vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon sugar

Step 1: Preparing the pancakes
We start by preparing the pancakes, the base of this delicious recipe. In a bowl, beat the egg with the milk, sugar, a pinch of salt, and a few drops of vanilla essence. Mix well, then gradually add flour (about 100g, can be adjusted according to desired consistency) until you obtain a smooth batter. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to activate the gluten, which will make the pancakes fluffier.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil. Pour a portion of the pancake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Fry the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process until you finish the batter. Place the pancakes on a plate and let them cool slightly.

Step 2: Preparing the filling
In a bowl, combine the low-fat cow cheese with the sugar. Use a fork to mix well, so the sugar melts and the cheese becomes creamy. If you want a more intense flavor, you can add a little vanilla essence or, for a fresh note, a pinch of lemon zest.

Step 3: Filling the pancakes
Take each pancake and fill it with the cheese mixture. Roll them tightly and place them in a greased heat-resistant dish with a little oil (a shell-shaped mold is perfect for a nice appearance). If you want, you can cut the pancakes in half or smaller pieces to fit better in the dish.

Step 4: Preparing the egg cream
In another bowl, mix the yolk with the sour cream, vanilla essence, and sugar. Beat well to obtain a smooth mixture. Pour the egg cream over the filled pancakes in the heat-resistant dish, making sure to cover all the pancakes well.

Step 5: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the dish with pancakes in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, until the egg cream has set and has a light golden crust.

Serving and variations
After the pancake pudding has been baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed plain or with a berry sauce, a portion of yogurt, or even a drizzle of honey for added sweetness.

This pancake pudding is perfect for a special breakfast or a delicious dessert after lunch. If you want to experiment, you can also add other ingredients to the filling, such as raisins, ground nuts, or even chocolate. My favorite trick is to add a few slices of caramelized apple or pear to the filling – a real treat!

Nutritional benefits
Pancakes are a good source of carbohydrates, while cheese adds essential dietary proteins. With a filling rich in low-fat cheese, this pudding can provide a balanced meal for young ones, helping them get the nutrients they need for healthy development.
