Stuffed Pancakes
Description
The recipe won't take much time. If you have a little leftover ground meat and rice from lunch or dinner, and your family is large, just make pancakes and stuff them with this filling. If you wish, you can add various spices and herbs, finely chopped tomato or cucumber, sour cream or mayonnaise to it. Serve the pancakes with garlic sauce—it will perfectly highlight the flavor of the dish.

By this time the batter will be just right. Heat a crepe pan and grease it with oil. Pour half a ladle of batter and swirl it, fry the crepe for about a minute on each side. If the edges start to burn while the center remains undercooked, simply lower the heat. Cook the crepes with the remaining batter.
