St Paulin is a cheese with an orange yellow rind, which was originally made by Trappist monks at the end of the 18th century. It is soft but you can still slice it. Port Salut is similiar. The cheese melts nicely and is therefore very suitable for oven dishes and pizza. You can also serve it for dessert with fruit and a light wine.

For other pancake pies, see apple pancake pie and summer fruit pancake pie.

Put the flour, salt and yeast together and add 3/4 cup of water; knead for 10 minutes and allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes.
