Tânia’s Pancake

Tânia is a super relaxed girl; like those people that leave a good impression at first sight. She works at the house of Albert, Dani and Giugiu (picture below) in Petrópolis (A city located in the mountains 50 km north of Rio de Janeiro). Albert is a Mountain Bike athlete, one of the best in Brazil; he is very talented and super positive.
I met Tânia during a visit at the Albert's home. She is fun, “Rio style girl”, joker, always smiling and very enthusiastic. We had a lot of fun with her stories and her "clown like" way.
We rode around Petrópolis for two days, with very inclined hills and an incredible view of the Atlantic forest. When we arrived from the ride, Tânia was waiting for us with these delicious pancakes with Bolonese sauce. Of course I did not miss this opportunity to write down this recipe from such a special person. Enjoy!
