Crespelle Alla Fiorentina | Traditional Pancake From Florence, Italy | TasteAtlas

Crespelle alla Fiorentina

(Pezzole delle nonne)

Crespelle alla Fiorentina is a traditional Tuscan dish originating from Florence. In order to make the dish, crespelle pancakes are stuffed with a combination of spinach, ricotta, and nutmeg, then rolled in a similar way to cannelloni. A beaten egg and grated Pecorino cheese are usually added to the filling.


The pancakes are arranged in a baking dish, topped with béchamel sauce, then baked until golden brown and bubbling on the sider. The crespelle can also be folded like a handkerchief, hence the other name, pezzole delle nonne, meaning grandmother's handkerchief.
