    Combine in a bowl with the next 9 ingredients.
  3. 3
    Squeeze the mixture through your hands for a minute or two, until it is very fine and well combined.
  4. 4
    Taste (you can cook a bit of the mixture if youre worried about eating raw beef) and adjust the seasoning as necessary; the pancakes should be well seasoned but not very hot.

  9. 9
    Dip each pancake into the flour and then the egg, then transfer to the skillet.
  10. 10
    Cook as many at a time as will fit without crowding, adjusting the heat so they brown but do not burn; turn each after 2 or 3 minutes.
  11. 11
    As they finish, stack on a plate.
  12. 12
    Serve hot or at room temperature.
