This is a family recipe that has been handed down from my great grandfather - an Italian immigrant. I've never seen it any where else, nor do I know what it is called in Italy, but would dearly like to know.

It can also have spicy sausage or other deli meats added, and the addition of smoked cheese is also delicious.

Steps

20 mins

1

Dice onions and put into a large mixing bowl.
2

Cut cheese into 1cm cubes. Add to the bowl.
3

Add flour and salt. Mix well with a dinner knife, breaking up the cheese and onion as much as possible.
4

Add water a bit and a time, mixing until all the flour is incorporated into a ball. Try to keep the mixture as dry as possible but moist enough to form a ball and avoid over mixing.
5

Add enough oil to just cover the bottom of a large non-stick frying pan. Heat over a medium heat until very hot.
6

Add mixture to the frying pan and spread out. Two dinner knives are good way to do this. Add a few holes in mixture to allow the oil to bubble up and help cook the centre of the pancake.
7

After about 5 minutes when the bottom is golden, carefully flip the pancake. Take care to gently ease the cooked cheese off the pan before attempting to flip it.
8

After about 5 minutes when the bottom is golden, remove from the pan, sprinkle with salt and cut into pieces like a pizza. Eat when hot or cold.
