Heat a pan until hot and pour a ladle of batter, swirling it around to coat the pan.

Cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown.

For the filling, chop onion finely and sauté in a preheated frying pan with oil and optional butter until golden and caramelized.

Add meat filling to the onions, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

Once cooked, place the meat mixture in a food processor and blitz until finely textured.

Take a pancake, place it on a board, add about one large tablespoon of filling, and roll it up from the sides and middle.

Repeat with remaining pancakes and filling.

Preheat the pan, add butter and oil, and fry the rolled pancakes on high heat until crispy and golden on both sides.

Serve warm, optionally with sour cream or other sauces.
