The story behind this recipe
I read on Facebook yesterday that it was pancake day, and I decided to join in by making pancakes! My inspiration came from chef Adi Hadean, but I invented the recipe myself, hoping to get something better than just edible. Basically, I mixed: 1 egg, a handful of grated cașcaval, a handful of spinach sautéed beforehand with a little garlic, 2 tablespoons of toasted peanuts (I crushed these a bit, until I was left with quarters and halves), 5-6 good tablespoons of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of green pesto, 1 sachet of baking powder, salt, and oregano. I mixed everything together and fried them in a small pan, with a drop of olive oil each time. It works! I'll definitely make them again :) Enjoy your meal!
