Filloas
Very thin Galician milk pancakes cooked on a pork-fat-greased pan.
About Filloas
Filloas are very thin Galician pancakes traditionally associated with Entroido, the Galician Carnival. This profile fixes Consum's filloas de leche version rather than combining the milk, stock or blood styles found across Galicia.
Milk and egg give the batter a gentle richness, while a small amount of sugar brings light sweetness without turning the pancake into a heavily sweetened dessert. Pork fat used on the pan adds a faint savoury depth.
Each filloa is broad, flat and notably thinner than a typical crêpe, with a pale cream-to-golden surface and delicate browned patches. The texture is tender and flexible, with fine crispness at the thinnest edges.

Origins & food traditions
Consum supplies a complete Galician filloas de leche formula based on whole milk, water, eggs, wheat flour, salt and sugar, cooked on a pan greased with pork fat. Galicia's official tourism guide independently identifies filloas as an Entroido sweet, documents their egg-and-flour base and milk-or-water variants, and notes bacon or butter for greasing. This profile selects the complete milk version without importing optional fillings or other regional batters.
