The ingredient list doesn't list quantities because it's not needed here. 1 pancake and 1 egg is 1 serving.
Ingredients:
- thin pancakes;
- chicken eggs;
- cheese, vegetables, herbs for serving.
How to cook scrambled eggs in a pancake
- We will definitely need thin ones, thick ones do not fold well and can crush the egg yolk with their weight. They can be baked in advance, but it is better to do them at the same time. As soon as we turn it over to fry on the second side, immediately break the egg onto it.
- We take the pan by the handle and tilt it a little from side to side so that the white spreads over the surface as much as possible, and the yolk is as much as possible in the center of the circle.
- Fold in half, covering the other half with the egg.
- After a couple of minutes, carefully, so as not to tear, pick it up with a spatula and turn it over to the other side. Hold for 10 seconds and remove.
Serve the pancake stuffed with egg and cheese, with a salad of fresh vegetables. You can leave it like this - a crescent, or you can roll it into a triangle.

Cooking pancakes
The dough itself can be very tasty. But only delicate filling will make it unforgettable.
By serving filled pancakes, you can diversify any menu and choose the most unexpected recipes.
Meat, fermented milk cheese, pate, fruit puree and even delicious cream are perfect for pancake dough. If we are talking about fillings, then the preparations for them should be:
- thin, delicate;
- tasty, unyielding;
- beautiful.
To prepare the pancake dough we will need:
- milk – 450 ml, eggs – 4 pcs.;
- flour – 250 g, salt – 3–4 g, sugar – 10–15 g;
- sunflower oil – 25 ml.
- To create the perfect dough, add all the ingredients to the milk, stir and be sure to strain through a sieve. The result is a homogeneous consistency.
- The mass is poured into a hot pancake pan, and the excess is quickly drained. Fry on one side.
For this test, you can use both sweet and dessert fillings, as well as meat and cheese. If you need to prepare lean pancakes with filling, then the dough recipe is as follows:
- flour – 250 g, water – 300 ml;
- starch – 60 g, salt – 4–5 g;
- vegetable oil – 50 g.
Pancakes stuffed with liver
Liver for filling is prepared in different ways. Some people boil it and then grind it in a meat grinder, others stew the liver in pieces. I usually first simmer the liver with vegetables, and then grind it in a blender to form a pate. The filling turns out very tender and tasty.
What we need:
- onion – 1 onion;
- carrots – 1 piece;
- chicken liver – 500g;
- vegetable oil – 3 tbsp;
- cream (10%) – 100ml;
- dill – 1 bunch,
- coriander – 1 tsp;
- salt – 0.5 tsp;
- butter – 30g.
How to prepare liver for filling
- You can cook it either in a frying pan or in a slow cooker. The principle is absolutely the same. Peel the onion, wash it and cut it into cubes.
- Peeled and washed carrots can be grated, but it’s easier to cut them into pieces (then chop them anyway).
- Turn on the multicooker to the “Frying” mode, pour in vegetable oil, and heat it. Add onions and carrots and fry.
- Wash the liver, cut off the bile ducts (if any).
- Place in the bowl as soon as the vegetables are slightly fried.
- Stir and wait for it to turn white. Pour cream. Switch to the “Quenching” mode.
- Salt, add coriander and herbs. Mix.
- Finely chop the dill with a knife and also add to the liver. Cover the lid and cook for 15 minutes.
- Place the finished cooled liver in a blender bowl, immediately add butter and grind to a tender pate.
- You can fill the pancakes right away. We roll them up into a tube. But then we put it in the refrigerator so that the liver filling mixed with butter hardens. Then it will be convenient to cut them. And we will cut them like rolls - across and diagonally.
Serving this way, our snack pancakes turn into a beautiful dish that can be successfully served even at a holiday table.

Thin pancakes with milk and water
1. In order to prepare stuffed pancakes with apples, eggs must be intensively beaten with sugar and salt using a mixer, and milk must be mixed with water and heated in the microwave for 30 - 40 seconds until slightly warm.
2. Pour lemon juice over the baking soda and add the resulting foam to the eggs. In addition to lemon juice, you can use any type of vinegar (6 - 9%) to quench soda, but this must be done, since even a small amount of unslaked soda can give the dough an extremely unpleasant taste. However, thanks to the presence of soda in the dough, the pancakes will turn out softer and more delicate in consistency.
3. Pour half the milk into the eggs and mix everything with a mixer.
4. Next, sift the flour into the dough in portions, each time mixing it well with a mixer until smooth.
5. Pour the remaining milk into the dough and knead it again.
6. At the last stage, add vegetable oil (preferably odorless sunflower oil), mix well and you can start baking, since the dough for thin pancakes with milk and water is ready. 7. Place the frying pan over medium heat, and while it is heating up well, grease its bottom and walls with vegetable oil and drain off the excess. Then pour in just enough batter to cover the bottom with a very thin layer, and fry the pancake for about a minute until browned.
8. When one side is fried, the pancake must be carefully turned over and fried on the other side, which usually happens faster, so at this moment it is better not to leave the stove and watch carefully, otherwise it may burn.

Thin pancakes with milk
1. In order to prepare stuffed pancakes with meat, you need to bake very thin, but strong and elastic pancakes without holes that securely and easily hold the filling.
Pour lukewarm milk into a deep mixing bowl and add a chicken egg, salt and sugar there. 2. Beat all ingredients intensively using a mixer.
3. Add flour into the dough in portions, be sure to sift it through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen, and knead everything very thoroughly with a mixer until you get a smooth, homogeneous and at the same time liquid enough dough for thin pancakes. 4. At the very end, you need to pour a spoonful of refined sunflower oil into the dough, after which it is advisable to let it stand on the table for half an hour for the gluten to swell.
5. Although pancakes can be baked in absolutely any frying pan, it is not for nothing that special pancake frying pans are sold in stores. They differ from ordinary ones mainly in that they have low sides - this helps to carefully turn the pancakes without getting painful burns. It is important that the frying pan has a high-quality non-stick coating, as this makes baking pancakes much easier. If the coating is damaged during use, then it is in these places that the pancakes will begin to stick strongly, which often spoils their appearance.
Before baking the first pancake, the frying pan must be hot, and in addition, it must be coated with a thin layer of vegetable oil, after which you can pour a ladle of dough onto it and spread it in a circular motion as thin a layer as possible.
6. Thin pancakes for stuffing just need to be fried on one side, which takes about a minute over medium heat, so everything happens pretty quickly and in 15 - 20 minutes you will have a solid pile of pancakes waiting to be stuffed with the most delicious and satisfying meat filling.
Thin pancakes with milk and boiling water
1. In order to prepare stuffed pancakes with liver, first make the dough for delicious thin pancakes. The eggs must be broken into a container for kneading the dough and salt and sugar added to them.
2. Beat eggs with sugar and salt with a mixer until fluffy foam is obtained.
3. Add 1 glass (250 ml) of milk to the eggs and mix with a mixer. It is advisable to use milk at room temperature, and if you have just taken it out of the refrigerator, it is better to slightly warm the milk in the microwave. 4. Sift the flour, add to the dough in 3-4 additions and beat everything vigorously with a mixer, resulting in a thick, smooth dough without lumps. 5. At the last stage, you need to pour the remaining glass of milk into the dough, as well as boiling water and vegetable oil.
6. Beat everything again, and the result will be a dough for thin pancakes made with milk and boiling water. 7. Before baking the first pancake, the frying pan should be warmed up very much and its entire surface should be coated with a small amount of vegetable oil. In the future, you don’t have to add oil, at least if you have a good non-stick frying pan and you have added the required amount of oil to the dough. Using a ladle, spread the batter into the pan in an even thin layer and cook for about a minute over medium heat until the pancake is browned.
8. To carefully and without damage flip the pancake to the other side, you first need to run a spatula along the sides of the pan, delicately separating the dough from the surface, since this is where it is most likely to stick. After this, you need to place the spatula under the center of the pancake and confidently turn it over to the other side. When the second side of the pancake is browned, which usually happens much faster, it can finally be removed from the pan.
