Panquecas brasileiras (Brazilian pancakes)

Note: I used to eat these on my mission in Sao Paulo Brazil, they are excellent!
Panquecas or Crêpes
1 cup flour
1 1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp salt
Put all ingredients in blender and and beat until smooth. Cook as you
would for crêpes.

Filling

Use your favorite vegetarian filling, the chicken filling for Brazilian
chicken pie or this ground beef filling:
1 lb very lean ground beef
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
fresh cilantro, finely chopped (if you can't find cilantro, use green onions
and parsley)
oregano to taste
2 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped into small pieces
10-12 pitted green olives
Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil. Add ground beef, cilantro and
oregano and cook until brown. It should be rather dry, not very much
liquid at all. Remove from heat. Add olives and chopped eggs.
Making the panquecas
Fill each panqueca with this mixture and roll it up. Put panquecas
together in a large pyrex. Cover with tomato sauce, sprinkle with grated
parmesan cheese and warm in oven or microwave. Serve piping hot
with white rice and green salad.
