Preparation
STEP 1
Separate the eggs and place the whites and yolks into two different bowls. Beat the yolks with a fork, add in the milk at room temperature, a drizzle of olive oil, salt and pepper and the grated Grana Padano and mix well. Sift in the flour and yeast, then mix together to obtain a smooth, even batter.
STEP 2
Beat the egg whites until stiff with an electric mixer then add to the batter and stir gently from the bottom to the top.
STEP 3
Warm a non-stick pan with a knob of butter, add 4 spoonsful of batter to make 4 mini pancakes at the time and cook for 20 seconds. Flip the pancakes over with a spatula and cook for another 20 seconds. Repeat until you finish the batter.
STEP 4
To make the wafers, use a pastry ring to form grated Grana Padano discs on a sheet of baking paper. Remove the pastry ring and cook in the microwave for one minute. Leave the wafer to cool and remove from the paper.
STEP 5
Prepare the Grana Padano spread by whisking the ricotta, add the finely grated Grana Padano, thyme leaves, a pinch of salt, pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Garnish the mini pancakes with the mousse, a slice of smoked salmon, the Grana Padano wafer, dill, and pomegranate seeds.
