Description
Fluffy mild cheese‑filled pancakes drizzled with honey and dusted with cinnamon—an indulgent taste of Crete perfect for breakfast or dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup all‑purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for frying)
4 oz mild cheese (like Graviera, kasseri, or mild halloumi), cut into 12 small cubes
Honey, for drizzling
Ground cinnamon, for dusting
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
In another bowl, beat egg with milk and olive oil until smooth.
Stir the wet mixture into dry ingredients until just combined—a few small lumps are fine.
Heat a little olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spoon about 2 tbsp batter into the skillet, flattening slightly, and place one cheese cube in the center. Top with another 2 tbsp batter to enclose the cheese.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until pancakes are golden brown and cooked through, and cheese begins to melt.
Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter and cheese.
Arrange pancakes on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with honey and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon.
Serve warm for a gooey, sweet‑savory treat.
