| | filloa (pancakes) | Explanation:
A very typical Galician version of pancakces, normally served sweet. I would keep "filloa" in this case.
Good luck!

Found a couple of places where they term "lace pancakes" for this type. It is very light, lighter than a normal pancake or crêpe.
Lace pancakes from galicia -filloas-
Categories: spanish
Yield: 1
100 gram plain flour
salt
250 millilitre water
500 millilitre milk
5 eggs, well beaten
Put the flour and little a little salt in a bowl and gradually blend in the water and milk. Then mix in the eggs and beat well. Rest the mixture in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before using. Heat the pan. Pour in a spoonful of batter, at the same time brushing it across the pan. Use as little batter as possible so that the pancakes are really thin. Cook one side, then carefully turn the pancake using a palette knife and cook the other side. Remove from the pan and keep the pancakes warm while you continue to fry the remaining batter. (Serves 8 pancakes) Contributor: Esther Pérez Solsona NYC

I'm not sure Neil - but I think the difference is in the fact that these have water added into the batter. That might be what makes them thinner, which you don't do with crêpes. They are definitely lighter than your average pancake/crêpe.

Sorry for the mess "which you don't do.." obviously behind "added into the batter". Good night. |
