Ukrainian Crepes (Nalysnyky)

Course Main Course, Side Dish

Ingredients

For the Crepes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ⅓ cups milk
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup flour

For the Filling

  • 2 cups dry cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup ricotta
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 tbsp whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tsp salt
  • salted butter for topping when cooking

Instructions

To Make the Crepes

  • Whisk together eggs, milk, oil and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Add flour in small batches, whisking the batter until smooth and incorporated.
  • Lightly oil a 7-inch skillet and heat over medium heat.
  • Pour in about 3 tablespoons batter until it covers the bottom of the pan in a thin layer.
  • Cook 30-40 seconds, until the bottom is lightly browned and the edges lift easily. Flip the crepe and cook for another 30-40 seconds until the centre of the crepe is cooked and set.
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Don’t stack them as they will stick.

To Make the Filling

  • In a medium bowl, add the cottage cheese, ricotta, egg yolks, cream, dill and salt. Mix with a fork until combined.

To Assemble

  • Place 2-3 tablespoons filling in the centre of each crepe, leaving ½ inch at the sides.
  • Start rolling at one long side of the filling, rolling the crepe over the filling. Place the crepe seam-side down onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until you’ve run out of filling or crepes.
  • You can freeze them at this point on the baking sheet and then transfer to a freezer safe container once frozen.
  • To cook - fit the desired amount of crepe rolls in a greased casserole dish in 2 or 3 layers, dabbing pieces of butter randomly on top of the crepes.
  • Cover and cook at 350°F for 45-60 minutes. Serve hot.
