a Lithuanian snack

I first ate these perfect pancakes with bacon and eggs at my boyfriend's family's datcha near Vilnius. Cook this recipe as a quick snack or for a Sunday morning breakfast. It's so tasty, filling and easy to make.

So, let's start with the ingredients:

for the pancakes:

3 cups of flour
1 egg
2-3 cups of water (enough so the batter is smooth and runny; you can also use a bit of milk instead of water)
pinch of salt
tablespoon of oil (so the pancakes don't stick to the pan)

Making the pancakes is very simple. Put the flour in a mixing bowl, add the egg and then gradually stir in the water (it's best to use a whisk for this) until there are no lumps left and it has the consistency of soup, i.e. relatively thin. Finally, add the salt and the oil and give it a last mix. You need a fairly good non-stick frying pan or it can get a bit messy. Get the pan really hot and add oil if necessary. You're ready to make the pancakes!

for the filling:

as many eggs as you want, perhaps 3 or 4
lots of streaky bacon (the fattier the better :) )
salt and pepper to taste

Whisk the eggs in a bowl and add the salt and pepper. Get another frying pan hot and add the bacon. When the bacon has slightly browned add the eggs and stir until the eggs have cooked. It should look a bit like this:

Once the pancakes and the egg mixture are ready, you can eat! Take a pancake and fill it with the mix. Guten Appetit!
