  • Measuring cups
  • Non stick pan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • For the batter:
  • 4 eggs whole
  • 2.5 cups flour all-purpose
  • 1.33 cups water
  • 2.5 cups milk whole
  • Frying oil
  • 2 pinches of salt
  • 2 tsp of sugar
  • For the filling:
  • 2 yolks egg
  • 1.33 cups cheese dry cottage or ricotta
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Others:
  • Powdered sugar
  • Apricot jam

Instructions

  • Mix eggs, flour, milk, sparkling water, salt, and sugar until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add oil to coat it.
  • Pour ¼ cup of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
  • Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges turn slightly golden.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
  • In a separate bowl, combine egg yolks, cheese, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Spread a thin layer of filling on each pancake and roll tightly.
  • Place rolled pancakes on a baking sheet, and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes until heated through and slightly crispy.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pancake batter.
  • If you don't have sparkling water, you can substitute it with regular water, but the pancakes may not be as light and fluffy.
  • You can use any type of cheese for the filling, such as cottage cheese, ricotta, or cream cheese. Each will provide a unique flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Experiment with different fillings, such as fruit preserves, chocolate spread, or even savory options like ham and cheese.
  • Be creative with your presentation by cutting the pancake rolls into smaller pieces for bite-sized treats or arranging them in a spiral on a plate.
