Nalesniki (polish Pancakes) image

These are really similar to the pancakes/crepes that I had for the first time last week on a studytour in Russia. They can be dessert or breakfast or whatever. There were a lot of options for fillings, mostly it looked like different flavors of jam, but I don't like fruit so I had mine plain there and found this recipe for a cheese filling when I got back home.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

225 g flour
1 egg
3 eggs, separated
300 ml milk
300 ml water
1 tablespoon oil
1 pinch nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
25 g butter (for greasing the pan)
25 g butter
1 egg yolk
250 g cottage cheese
sugar (I would use about a tablespoon and a half.)
1 pinch vanilla sugar
milk

Steps:

  • Batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl.
  • Add the egg and the egg yolks from the separated eggs.
  • Add the milk, water, oil and nutmeg and mix thoroughly.
  • Whisk the egg whites together with the salt until stiff, and fold into the batter.
  • Filling: Cream the butter with the egg yolk and mix together with the cheese.
  • Add the sugar and vanilla sugar.
  • Mix well.
  • If the mixture is too stiff, add a little bit of milk.
  • Putting It Together: Melt some of the butter over medium heat in a small frying pan.
  • When it's hot, pour in about 2tbs of batter and cook on both sides until lightly browned.
  • Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven at low heat.
  • Repeat until all of the batter is used.
  • Put a tablespoonful of filling on each pancake, fold over and serve hot.
