Description
A unique twist on traditional pancakes, combining savory beef patties and cheese with fluffy pancake batter for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 egg, separated
- 75 g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon caster sugar
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tablespoon neutral-tasting oil
- 250 g beef mince (15% fat content)
- 2 slices American cheese or mild cheddar
- 30 ml burger sauce
- 40 g sliced gherkins
Instructions
- Whip the egg white to soft peaks using an electric whisk.
- In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolk, plain flour, baking powder, and caster sugar. Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth batter forms.
- Carefully fold the whipped egg white into the mixture to create a light and airy texture.
- Heat half the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon a quarter of the pancake batter into the pan, shaping it into a small round.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and set at the edges. Repeat until four pancakes are made, keeping cooked pancakes warm in a low oven.
- Increase pan heat to high and add remaining oil. Divide beef mince into two equal portions.
- Place one portion in the pan and press firmly with a spatula to flatten into a thin patty. Cook for 2-3 minutes until browned and crisped at the edges.
- Flip the patty, place a slice of cheese on top, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese melts. Repeat with the remaining beef.
- Layer a pancake on a plate, top with a cheesy beef patty, drizzle with burger sauce, and arrange sliced gherkins over the patty. Place another pancake on top.
- Repeat to assemble the second serving. Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure the beef mince is properly seasoned if desired.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for a varied flavor profile.
- Serve with additional burger sauce on the side if preferred.
