Equipment
- frying pan

- 600 g Mozzarella
- 200 g 00 Flour
- 25 g Brewer's Yeast
- 2-3 g Ground Navelli Saffron Powder
- Extra Virgin Olive

- Finely chop the Mozzarella or Fiore di Latte with a knife.
- Once the Mozzarella is well shredded, put it in a very large bowl.
- Add the flour and 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil, a pinch of salt, saffron and the yeast.
- Cover everything and leave to rise at room temperature for about two hours (if it is winter and it is cold, leave it t to rise near a heat source).
- By this time, the mixture will have more than doubled in volume.
- Heat the oil to piping hot, take a tablespoon of the batter and drop it into the batter to create mini pancakes.
- The batter has a v light consistency so don't turn them simply brown on one side so that when they are removed from the oil they are golden on one side and white and stringy on the opposite ... delicious!
- Drain them on absorbent paper, add a pinch of salt and eat them hot !!! An exceptional appetiser!
