Ingredients

  • 2 cups nonfat milk or 2 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 pinch nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 lb fresh spinach leaves, diced. (I include the stems, finely minced.)
  • enough oil or butter, to lightly grease a griddle or iron skillet for frying the pancake
  • 12 cup butter
  • 12 cup chives (optional) or 12 cup minced parsley (optional) or 12 cup tomatoes, bits for topping. (optional)
  • 3 cups swiss cheese, shredded
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 3 cups cream cheese, sprinkled with
  • ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups sour cream, and
  • 1 cup tomatoes, bits mixed

Method

  • Cook the spinach, drain, cover and set aside.
  • In a large mixting bowl, whip milk, eggs and salt together.
  • Add flour and nutmeg and blend well.
  • Cover and let this mixture stand 1/2 hour or more in refrigerator.
  • Add cooled and drained spinach to the batter, mix well.
  • Fry the cakes on a hot griddle or in an iron skillet, and it's better to fry one cake at a time in order to ensure even cooking.
  • Check for doneness by lifting a corner of the pancake with a spatula, and if it's browned it's ready to flip and fry the other side.
  • Place each pancake as it's cooked on a plate, cover, and keep warm.
  • When ready to serve, fill the pancakes with one or more of the filling mixtures, roll and place on individual plates or in a serving dish.
  • Drizzle melted butter over each pancake.
  • Sprinkle the pancakes with chives or minced parsley or tomato bits.
  • Note: the recipe makes 10 large pancakes or 20 small ones.
