  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Cooking: 25 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (256 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 60 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 80 g Milk, whole
  • 40 g Water
  • 1 g Salt
  • 40 g Sour cream
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, egg, milk, water and salt into a thin, pourable batter.
  2. Melt a little butter in a wide pan, pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling to cover the base, and cook 1-2 minutes until set on top.
  3. Slide the cooked layer onto a plate, spread thinly with sour cream, then pour and cook the next layer of batter directly in the same pan.
  4. Repeat, stacking a layer of sour cream between each cooked round, until you have about 4 layers for this serving and the batter is used up.
  5. Warm the stack for 5 minutes in an oven at 180 °C (350 °F) to set the layers together, then cut into wedges to serve. Makes 1 serving; multiply by 6-8 for a whole flia to share.
