NALYSNYKY

Ingredients

  • Crepes:
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • Filling:
  • 2 cups cottage or ricotta cheese
  • 2 eggs, well beaten
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Crepes:

Add milk and salt to well beaten eggs. Stir in flour until smooth (the batter should be thin). Lightly grease and preheat a frying pan, fry small amounts of the batter (about ¼ cup) as you would a pancake until they turn yellowish in color.

Filling:

Combine all of the above ingredients. Place about a tablespoon of filling in the centre of the crepe (more filling if the crepe is very large), roll up the crepe and place it seam side down in a lightly greased casserole dish. (Make sure there is enough room to add the whip cream mixture (see below). Bake the Nalysnyky until golden brown @ 350oF (about 30-40 minutes).

Then Baba fries one chopped onion in butter and adds at least 1 cup whipping cream (enough to cover the Nalysnyky) and heats it slightly. Then she pours this over the Nalysnyky and bakes it until warm (about 10 minutes more). Yummy!
