Pancakes with Sorrel

Whatever filling you use, thin pancakes are always tasty.

We though of filling them with sorrel and the result was unexpectedly pleasant. Sorrel is sour and adding sugar makes its taste amazingly good. As the filling has little calories, you can enjoy these pancakes even if you keep a diet.

Sorrel is good for digestion, especially for those with abdominal flaccidity and engorgement. In addition, sorrel is rich in ascorbic and oxalic acids.
