Gefullte Pfannkuchen mit Spargel (White Asparagus-Stuffed Pancakes) Recipe

Peel white asparagus with a vegetable peeler from top to bottom starting below the tips. Cut off any woody ends with a knife.

Place asparagus spears in a large wide saucepan and pour in enough lightly salted water to just cover. Bring water to a boil; add sugar and salt. Reduce heat; simmer until spears are tender and easily pierced with a knife 15 to 25 minutes. Drain.

Whisk eggs and flour together in a large bowl. Add milk and 1 pinch salt; whisk into a smooth batter with no lumps.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Ladle 1/4 of the batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter using 1 tablespoon butter to cook each pancake.

Divide asparagus evenly among the pancakes. Wrap pancakes around the asparagus and place on serving plates.

Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add hard-boiled eggs; cook and stir until heated through 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in parsley. Divide egg mixture evenly over pancakes.
