If you like family Sunday breakfasts and especially savoury breakfasts; if your little ones like surprises or simply love cheese like my own little hands; if you’re looking for fluffy and savoury pancakes; then you’re in the right place! You can try to make these stuffed pancakes with the playful cheese Mini Babybel, and I’m sure it’ll become your favourite breakfast. The tastiest, fluffiest, and cheesiest pancakes are here to surprise everyone! Let me take you through all the secrets that you’ll need to make them yourselves!
What we are going to need
For the mixture
- Flour. For the savoury cheese pancakes, I use all-purpose flour.
- Yogurt. Plant or animal. The yogurt from animal milk, though, gives them a stronger taste and aids when working with the mixture.
- Milk. You can use plant or animal milk. For children under the age of one year old, you can also use yogurt with water.
- Eggs. They are needed to bind and fluff up the mixture. Remember to choose organic or free-range eggs.
- Olive oil.
- Vinegar. Helps them rise.
- Raising agents. So that they rise and fluff up even more.
- Spices. Dried oregano and thyme. They add all the flavour to the mixture.
For the stuffing
- Mini Babybel Original. The classic red Babybel cheese, the one I recall eating as a child. It’s made from pasteurized cow milk, taken from free-range cows, with no added preservatives, artificial aromas, dyes, or flavour enhancers. Additionally, it’s rich in calcium, quite playful, and of course, it’s the surprise inside our stuffed pancakes!
Tips
- Make the mixture the day before and leave it inside the fridge. In the morning, you’ll only need to cook your savoury pancakes and enjoy them!
- The dosages below make 9–10 stuffed pancakes.
- The mixture shouldn’t be too runny nor too thick. It should flow slowly when dripping from the spoon.
- The temperature you cook it at is also quite important. You shouldn’t be frying it in high heat because the pancake will be cooked before the raising agents have time to be activated, and as such, it won’t rise nor fluff up. You need to be patient while cooking it, over low to medium heat. In my kitchen, the cooktop goes from 0 to 9, and I fried them at 4.
- You can’t skip the yogurt and the vinegar because the pancakes won’t rise.
- While making them, make sure to cover the cheese completely with the second spoonful you’ll add over it.
- If you have any leftovers, and that’s a big if, you can store them in the fridge for 2 to 3 days. In our house, there’s nothing left.
- You can also freeze them, and they make for a quick—and most importantly, delicious—breakfast or snack at any time you or the little hands want them.
How the little hands can help
- My own pair of little hands want to be the only ones who get to open the Babybel cheese and remove the cheese from the wax packaging. Allow your little hands to do the same, on one hand saving you time, and on the other hand allowing them to exercise their dexterity. If you have a training knife, they could also cut them.
- Older kids can weigh the ingredients. For younger kids, you can weigh them and have all ingredients prepared and ordered in the order they’ll be used in the recipe, and then they can add them to the bowl and form the mixture.
- Older kids can transfer the mixture to the pan and bake the stuffed pancakes, always under your watchful eyes.
