Welcome back to yet another month of Blogging marathon. Like every month, even this month I will be doing four weeks, with three posts a week. For the first week, I have chosen the theme South American cuisine. When you look into South American cuisine, the first thing that catches your eyes is the Dulce De Leche. Every country in South America has its own version of Dulce De Leche and the name differs from country to country but the basic recipe remains the same. When coming to savouries, corn breads, Arepas are also there is in every country. Meat plays an important place in Main course. I was browsing through recipes for nearly three days before I finalized three recipes. And when the day came to prepare them, I chose a different recipe. Hehehe! That is how I work. I am so unpredictable.
Coming to today’s recipe, these are pancakes from Argentina. The proportion of ingredients for the pancakes are easy to remember. Three parts eggs, two parts milk and one part flour. Easy, right? Increase or decrease the ingredients as per your needs but keep the proportion same. By eggs, they mean large eggs. And I get only small eggs here. So instead of using 1.5 egg, I used two eggs. The pancakes are super soft and gets done so quickly. The batter is quite thin, like the rava dosa batter. Because of the eggs and milk, they are super rich. The pancakes are smeared with dulce de leche and rolled or folden and served warm. I made these by the time Sruti came home from school, so her after school snacks were ready when she came home.
The Dulce De Leche can be easily made with a condensed milk can immersed in boiling water for an hour, but there is also a recipe that uses milk and sugar. I made it with part milk and part condensed milk, but you need to wait for another two weeks for the recipe. Until then take a look at my older post where I made Dulce De Leche with condensed milk and used it in a sandwich cookie. I also baked three batches of brownies on the same day, but reserved them for the next day, as they needed cooling down. You will see the brownies on the third week this month. At first I made Dulce de leche for this week, but as another week’s theme fitted so well with the recipe, I had to make pancakes and reserve that for later. Yes, a food blogger’s life is definitely like this. But don’t care about behind the scenes, enjoy these pancake rolls virtually and if you have all the ingredients at hand, go to kitchen and try it immediately.

It happens to me too. I cook something in advance keeping in mind a theme and when Valli announces another BM themes, the dish I cooked seem to perfectly fit another theme and I go scrambling for another recipe to replace it. 🙂
The rich pancakes are made richer and decadent with that dulce de leche filling. Sruthi must have had a blast.
dulce de leche is one of the most delicious treasures left to us by Latin cuisine and really anything with this flavor I am a fan of. These pancakes must have been delicious!
Ahh reading about the planning you seem to have done, sounds wonderful! And to know you managed to cook so many dishes in a day or two time frame is too good! I guess only a food blogger will understand the planning we get to put into making these dishes right..:)..these pancakes look amazing with the filling Gayathri. I love pancake and always stick to one veg recipe, else everything seems the same when yo remove the egg in it!
