- Preparation: 40 min
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread a spoonful of the filling along each crepe and roll it up into a tube, or fold it into an envelope.
- 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.
- Bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, until the sour cream is bubbling and the tops are golden.
- Serve warm; in Ukraine nalysnyky are a favourite for a Sunday breakfast.
