Panqueca
Panqueca is a popular Brazilian pancake enjoyed in both savory and sweet variations. Traditional Brazilian panquecas are often served with a ground meat ragu and tomato sauce, but they are also prepared in sweet versions, filled with chocolate or fruit. The pancake batter is thin and light, similar to a French crêpe, but the Brazilian version is often baked in the oven when prepared in a stuffed form. There's nothing better on a pleasant Sunday morning than the aroma of freshly baked Panqueca filling the kitchen. The secret to the perfect Panqueca is properly resting the batter and precise cooking technique, which ensures a soft yet slightly crispy texture.
