- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 lb bacon, diced

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter

- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth. Set aside.

2. In a non-stick skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the mushrooms, onion, and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the onion is translucent.

4. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the chicken broth, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.

5. Add the mushroom mixture and bacon to the saucepan. Stir to combine.

6. Add the sour cream and stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

7. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

8. In the same non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of the pancake batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter.

9. Place a spoonful of the mushroom and bacon mixture on each pancake and roll up. Place the rolled pancakes in a baking dish.

10. Bake the pancakes for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
