  • Cooking: 40 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (317 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 80 g Milk, whole
  • 14 g Sugar
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 40 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 4 g Sunflower oil
  • 100 g Cottage cheese (tvorog)
  • 8 g Egg yolk, raw
  • 0.5 g Vanilla extract
  • 5 g Butter, unsalted
  • 40 g Sour cream

Method

  1. Whisk the egg with the milk, a pinch of the sugar and the salt, then whisk in the flour until smooth and stir in half the oil; leave the batter, as thin as single cream, to rest for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a frying pan, brush it with a little of the remaining oil, pour in a thin layer of batter, tilting the pan to cover the base, and cook for about 1 minute on each side until set and lightly speckled; repeat, stacking the crepes.
  3. Mash the cottage cheese with the egg yolk, the rest of the sugar and the vanilla until smooth; push it through a sieve for a finer filling.
  4. Spread a spoonful of the filling along each crepe and roll it up into a tube, or fold it into an envelope.
  5. Butter a baking dish with some of the butter, lay the nalysnyky in it side by side, spread the sour cream over and dot with the rest of the butter.
  6. Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, until the sour cream is bubbling and the tops are golden.
  7. Serve warm; in Ukraine nalysnyky are a favourite for a Sunday breakfast.
