Instructions

1. 1.
   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Create a well in the center, crack in the egg, and gradually whisk in the milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and lump-free, which ensures even cooking. Let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax, resulting in tender pancakes.
2. 2.
   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush it with a bit of the melted butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling it around to create a thin, even layer. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges start to lift and small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds until lightly golden.
3. 3.
   Transfer the pancake to a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of prepared pesto evenly across the surface, leaving a small margin around the edges to prevent overflow. The pesto adds a rich, herbaceous flavor, enhancing the simple pancake flavors.
4. 4.
   Roll the pancake gently but firmly, ensuring the roll is tight enough to hold together but not so tight that the filling squeezes out. Repeat with the remaining batter and pesto. If the roll breaks, use additional pesto as glue to secure it.
5. 5.
   Cut the rolled pancake into spirals, showcasing the vibrant layers. Serve immediately, as the warmth enhances the flavor of the pesto and keeps the pancakes pliable and tender. If reheating, do so in a low oven to avoid drying them out.
