Ingredients

For Creamy Ham and Cheese filling:
Instructions
- Using the mixer, beat eggs and salt until foamy.
- Gradually pour in cold milk while whisking constantly.
- Add half the flour and baking soda and beat the mixture again. Then add the rest of the flour, a pinch of sugar and beat until you have a smooth and lump-free batter.
- Let the batter rest for 10 minutes so that the flour dissolves and the batter thickens a bit – it will be a slightly more thicker than should be and that is ok.
- Boil water in a kettle, then pour one ladle of hot water into the batter and stir with the same ladle. If the batter is too thick, add more water until you get the right consistency. Then add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir well.
- Heat a pancake pan over medium heat and add a little oil for frying.
Then, carefully pour in a ladle of batter and swirl the pan so that the batter is thinly distributed evenly over the entire surface. Fry for 30 seconds on one side, then use a handy spatula to flip to the other side and fry for another 30 seconds. Remove the pancake from the pan and roll it into a triangle. To keep the pancakes soft and pliable, store them under the lid until you are ready to fill. - Mix all ingredients in a bowl, check for salt, add salt and pepper to taste. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients until well blended. Leave for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Fill the still warm pancakes with ham and cheese filling and roll into neat rolls. To do this, you need to put the filling on one edge of the pancake, fold the top and bottom parts, and then roll the roll in the direction of the free edge.
- To make the pancakes with a pleasant crunch, you can fry them over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side. The heat will melt the filling into a gooey, delicious mess.
Enjoy!

Just Simple Recipes: Bites and Bits Essentials for Pancake Rolls with Ham and Cheese Creamy Filling
Why to add hot boiled water to the pancake batter?
Ever wondered how to make pancakes that are thin, tender, and have that beautiful lacy appearance? The secret lies in adding boiling water to the batter. This simple trick infuses the flour, making pancakes that not only have a delicate pattern of holes but are also resilient and won’t tear in the pan. It enhances their elasticity and results in an appetising design that stands out, perfect for everyday breakfast or even special occasions. Additionally, this method ensures that your pancakes remain soft for an extended period. Even after a day or two, they’ll maintain their tenderness without drying out. If you’ve never tried this technique, give it a go and treat yourself to the superior texture and taste of these unique pancakes. On a side note, if you’re exploring other pancake variations, consider trying custard pancakes. Despite their fancy name, they’re quite straightforward to make. The process involves brewing the batter with boiling water, which lends them a distinct flavour and a velvety touch.
Why to use baking soda in pancake rolls batter?
As you noticed this recipe requires a 1/2 tsp of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda). This is my usual trick to add just a pinch of this ingredient to the pancake batter and it works its magic. Lets deep into some chemistry for a second and find out why adding a bit of baking soda is a good idea.
Baking soda is an alkaline ingredient that reacts with acidic ingredients, producing carbon dioxide bubbles that help to lighten and soften the texture of baked goods, including pancakes. So the benefits of adding soda are:
- Fluffiness: Even though the pancakes with above recipe would be thin, adding baking soda can make them a touch more fluffy and tender.
- Golden Brown Color: The alkaline nature of baking soda can promote a beautiful golden-brown color when frying.
- Taste: A tiny amount can neutralize the sour taste if you’re using sour milk or yogurt, creating a balanced flavor.
However, be careful! You only need a smidge. Too much and you’ll taste the baking soda, which isn’t the yummiest.
