Preparation of Savory Onion Pancakes
In a bowl, pour the egg, water, oil, and salt, and with a spoon, mix to create a homogeneous emulsion.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour, yeast, and onion, and mix well.
Add the powdered mixture to the liquid mixture bowl and mix vigorously with a spoon until you obtain a homogeneous and moderately thick batter.
Heat the pan over medium heat, and once hot, pour a ladle of batter at a time, cook for 2/3 minutes, then flip the pancake with a kitchen spatula and cook for another 2/3 minutes. Continue this way until you finish the batter.
As the pancakes are cooked, place them on a serving plate or in a tray with parchment paper. Once cool, you can enjoy them as you like, either on their own or stuffed with cold cuts, cheeses, and vegetables!
