- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (154 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
- Contains: gluten, nut
Ingredients
- 30 g Flour, all-purpose
- 8 g Semolina
- 30 g Sugar
- 0.5 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.5 g Baking powder
- 60 g Water
- 15 g Walnuts
- 0.2 g Cinnamon
- 10 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Makes 1 portion (2 filled pancakes); multiply the ingredients by 6 for a batch of 12. Whisk the flour, semolina, a third of the sugar, yeast and baking powder with the water into a smooth, thin batter; let rest for 20 minutes.
- Pour small rounds of batter onto a hot, ungreased non-stick pan and cook on one side only for 1-2 minutes, until set and small bubbles appear on top but the top stays pale; do not flip.
- Meanwhile, mix the chopped walnuts with a third of the sugar and the cinnamon for the filling, and dissolve the remaining sugar in a little water over low heat to make a simple syrup.
- While each pancake is still warm and pliable, spoon a little walnut filling onto the cooked side, fold it over into a half-moon, and pinch the edges firmly closed.
- Fry the folded pancakes in the oil for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp, or bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 12-15 minutes for a lighter version.
- Drizzle with the syrup while still warm and serve.
