📝 Ingredients (for 4 people)

For the pancakes:

• 160 ml of whole milk
• 130 g of 00 flour
• 20 g of grated Grana
• 20 ml of seed oil
• 4 g of baking powder for savory pies
• 1 medium egg (separated yolk and white)
• 1 pinch of salt
• Butter to taste for greasing the pan

For the filling:

• 100 g of Bresaola della Valtellina IGP
• 20 g of shavings of Grana
• 20 g of arugula
• 1/2 Golden apple (sliced thin)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-step preparation

1. Separate the yolk from the white.
2. In a bowl, combine the yolk, milk, seed oil, and a pinch of salt, mixing with a whisk.
3. In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the baking powder and gradually add it to the liquid mixture, along with the grated Grana.
4. Whip the egg white until stiff peaks form with electric beaters and gently fold it into the batter with a spatula, using an up-and-down motion.
5. Heat a non-stick pan, grease it with a bit of butter, pour a ladle of batter, and cook the pancakes (about 10 cm in diameter). Flip them when bubbles appear on the surface and finish cooking.
6. Continue until all the batter is used.

🍽️ Stacking the pancakes

1. Place the first pancake on a plate.
2. Fill with:
   • 3 slices of Bresaola della Valtellina IGP
   • a few leaves of arugula
   • shavings of Grana
   • thin slices of Golden apple
3. Top with a second pancake and repeat the filling.
4. Close with a third pancake and serve immediately, preferably still warm.

💡 Tips

• For an even richer version, you can add a layer of cream cheese between the layers.
• Great also as a single layer, rolled up or folded like a crepe.
