Directions

  1. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add the salt and oil. Gradually add the flour until you have a thin, creamy batter. ≈ 4 min
  2. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat a nonstick skillet about 20 cm in diameter.
  4. Place the skillet over the heat and grease it with the pork fat, speared on a fork beforehand.
  5. Once the skillet is very hot, spoon in the batter to form a thin layer. Wait a few seconds, then flip the pancake to cook the other side.
  6. Repeat until the batter is used up. ≈ 3 min
  7. Take one pancake at a time, cover it with a generous layer of goat cheese and gently roll it up. ≈ 3 min
  8. Continue until all the pancakes are done and ready to be arranged side by side, in stacked rows. ≈ 3 min
