    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

      • 270 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) milk, room temperature
      • 10 g (2 tbsp) vinegar or lemon juice
      • 180 g (1 + 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
      • 4 g (1 tsp) baking powder
      • 4 g (1/2 tsp) baking soda
      • 20 g (2 tbsp) sugar
      • 1/4 tsp salt
      • 40 g (3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted (or substitute with vegetable oil)
      • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
      • Zest of 1/2 lemon
    • 125 g (1 cup) blueberries, fresh preferred

    Directions

      1. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
        • In a large bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Stir and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes; it will curdle slightly, mimicking buttermilk.
      1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
        • In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix well and set aside.
      2. Combine Wet Ingredients:
          • To the milk mixture, add the melted butter and mix until well combined.

         

      3. Incorporate Wet and Dry Ingredients:
        • Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest. Gently mix with a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
      1. Add Blueberries:
        • Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid breaking them, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
      2. Rest the Batter:
          • Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you heat the pan.

         

      3. Cook the Pancakes:
        • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter if desired. Use a 1/3 cup measure to scoop the batter and pour it onto the hot pan.
    1. Flip and Cook:
      • When bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, flip the pancake. Cook the other side for about 50 seconds or until golden brown.
    2. Serve:
        • Serve the pancakes immediately with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.

       

    Serving Suggestions

      • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
      • Pair with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.

    Cooking Tips

      • Resting the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest helps the pancakes to become fluffier.
      • Blueberry Placement: For an extra burst of blueberry flavor, sprinkle a few additional blueberries onto each pancake just after pouring the batter into the pan.
      • Pan Temperature: Ensure the pan is hot but not smoking, as a too-hot pan can cause the pancakes to burn on the outside while remaining undercooked inside.

    Nutritional Benefits

    • Blueberries: Packed with antioxidants, vitamins C and K, and fiber, blueberries add a nutritious boost to these pancakes.
    • Calcium-Rich: The addition of milk provides calcium, essential for bone health.

      • Sesame seeds / Nigella seeds for topping

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    Step 1: Prepare the Dough

      1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, combine warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
      2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
      3. Knead the Dough: Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    1. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

    Step 2: Prepare the Filling

      1. Cook the Onions: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onions; sauté until softened and translucent.
      2. Add Minced Meat: Stir in the minced meat of your choice, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned.

      1. Prepare the Cheese Filling: In a separate bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, fresh green coriander, dried parsley, and Aleppo pepper. Mix well.
      2. Shape the Rolls: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions (about 10-12). Roll each piece into a circle (about 5-6 inches in diameter).
    1. Add Fillings: Place a spoonful of the meat filling and a spoonful of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal tightly.
    2. Egg Wash: Place the filled rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Sprinkle sesame seeds or nigella seeds on top.

      1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Cooking Tips

      • Customize the Filling: Feel free to adjust the spices and herbs based on your preferences. Adding chopped bell peppers or spinach can enhance the flavor and nutrition.
      • Check the Dough: The dough should be soft and slightly tacky, but not sticky. Adjust the flour as needed while kneading.
    • Make Ahead: You can prepare the filling in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before assembling the rolls.
