Pancakes with milk. GALICIAN CUISINE.

The pancakes of milk are a typical sweet of the Galician gastronomy that although they are usually done all year round, it is a tradition that they are done in the Carnival either Carnival.

The Crepes They are a kind of thin tortilla, they receive different names depending on the part of the world where they are made. We find the French crepes, the Asturian frixuelos, the ash tree and the super thin filloas. If I have to choose between milk pancakes and the broth pancakes it would be complicated for me because I love both, but forced to choose, some good Crepes of broth with a substantial Cooked brothI think they would get my highest number of votes.

Although with different names, the preparation and flavor is very similar in all regions. The French say that they were the first to make crepes and the Galicians say that thanks to the Camino de Santiago the French discovered our pancakes, it is difficult to know which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Although in carnival it is tradition that the Crepes are eaten as dessert and therefore, filled sweetsIn my house we also like to eat them with salty fillings and gratin with creamy bechamel sauce, a real delicacy.

My best recipe for milk pancakes

In Galicia they are made broth pancakes clean and strained (if it is cooked, better) milk, although I make them interchangeably, I like them and they like them both ways, it should be noted that there are also those who make them with water and according to what they say they are also very tasty although I do with water I have not tried them.

In some Galician villages the tradition of making Crepes with pig's blood that they keep on the day of the slaughter. In the cities, due to obvious circumstances, this practice is not common.

“Emilia Pardo Bazan published in 1913 his book “Old Spanish Cuisine” this recipe of pancakes with milk And this is how he explained part of the process of this Galician recipe:

The hot frying pan is kept on the fire; it is quickly rubbed with bacon or oil and a very thin layer of amoado is spread. When the tortilla is slightly golden on one side, it turns on the other.”

The filloa is in Galicia, the most delicate candy of Carnival. He has fans.

Responsible for that beautiful color that has remained on the Crepes are the eggs DEMILLOeggs from hens fed with corn that give us well colored yolks.

In my house, both my father and my mother always cooked. but when in doubt, I believe that although my mother had a good hand in the kitchen, my father enjoyed cooking more. When my children were little, they always went one or two days a week to eat at their grandparents' house and without anyone saying anything to them, the previous afternoon they called their grandfather to make them one of his favorite dishes.

I find it very cute my children would have enjoyed having them around so much.

When my father made pancakes, the plate reached the ceiling of the enormous amount that he made, he spent a large part of the afternoon making them and then, the next day he always They played cannelloni and for dessert pancakes with honey.

I bought the filloeira or frying pan in which you see me making the pancakes HERE.
