|ingredients=*2 tablespoons olive oil
 
*3 tablespoons butter

*3 ounces pancetta or bacon, finely chopped
*1 pint (2 cups) sour cream
*1/2 cup minced onion (1/2 medium onion, or 2 ounces)
*4 large or extra large eggs
*2/3 cup minced celery (3 medium stalks, or 3 ounces)
*3 tablespoons sugar
*2/3 cup minced carrot (2 medium carrots, or 3 ounces)
*4 to 8 tablespoons (¼ to ½ cup) '''cake''' flour—it is essential to use cake flour
*2 medium cloves garlic, peeled and finely minced
*½ teaspoon salt
*1/2 pound plus 2 ounces ground beef (10 ounces)
*½ teaspoon baking soda
*1/4 pound plus 2 ounces ground pork (6 ounces)
 
*1/4 pound ground lamb (4 ounces)

*1/2 teaspoon black pepper, altogether, plus probably a little more
 
*1 teaspoon salt, plus a little more
(Most versions of this recipe call for '''very little''' flour; the less flour used the lighter the pancakes, but also the more difficult to flip. Six tablespoons make a very light pancake; even less flour is called for by some recipes, in which case '''extreme''' care is needed to flip them without tearing. With 8 tablespoons, the pancakes will flip like ordinary ones.)

#Before cooking, blend or whisk again to make certain the batter is even.
*1 medium (14-ounce) can unseasoned tomato sauce
#Preheat a griddle to medium hot (about 350 to 375 degrees) and grease it lightly with bacon fat or CriscoAfter the first batch of pancakes has been cooked the griddle will not need additional greasing(If you have a well-seasoned griddle, don’t bother with this step.)

|preparation=#Chop the pancetta by hand; pulse the onion, celery, and carrots in the food processor until fairly fine but not mushy.
#Heat the oil and butter in a large casserole and cook the vegetables and pancetta over medium heat for 2 or 3 minutesMince the garlic in the food processor, add to the vegetables, and stir another minute.
#Add the meats, the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.  Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the meat has lost its red color.
#Add the milk and cook until all the liquid has bubbled awayBe very careful not to let the mixture burn.
#Add the nutmeg and white wine and cook until the liquid has completely evaporatedOnce again, be very careful not to let it burn.
#Pulse the tomatoes (if necessary) in the food processor, then add to the pot, along with the sugar, the red wine, another 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, the tomato sauce, a tiny bit of red pepper, and the waterTaste carefully for more salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a simmer, then place on a heat diffuser, reduce the heat, and cook uncovered at the barest simmer for 3 to 8 hours, stirring from time to time, and adding water from time to time.  Don’t let it burn!  Do not remove any oil that rises to the surface — stir it back in. Cook down to a nice consistency.  The longer the cooking the better the sauce, apparently, at least up to 8 hours — after that there may be a point of diminishing returns.
#Serve on buttered pasta with Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients
 
  • 1 pint (2 cups) sour cream
  • 4 large or extra large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 to 8 tablespoons (¼ to ½ cup) cake flour—it is essential to use cake flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

Makes about 60 to 72 small pancakes

(Most versions of this recipe call for very little flour; the less flour used the lighter the pancakes, but also the more difficult to flip. Six tablespoons make a very light pancake; even less flour is called for by some recipes, in which case extreme care is needed to flip them without tearing. With 8 tablespoons, the pancakes will flip like ordinary ones.)

Preparation:
  1. Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend thoroughly. Or just whisk them together. Allow to sit for three hours, or overnight.
  2. Before cooking, blend or whisk again to make certain the batter is even.
  3. Preheat a griddle to medium hot (about 350 to 375 degrees) and grease it lightly with bacon fat or Crisco. After the first batch of pancakes has been cooked the griddle will not need additional greasing. (If you have a well-seasoned griddle, don’t bother with this step.)
  4. Using a ¼-cup measure, pour just enough batter on the griddle to make a dollar-sized pancake, probably about 1½ tablespoons.
  5. When pancakes are bubbly, turn very carefully and cook for a short time on the other side. This recipe should make about 60 to 72 small pancakes.
  6. Serve with butter and maple syrup.

This recipe was developed by the noted American cookbook author Marion Cunningham at her Bridge Creek Restaurant in Berkeley, California.
