Baked Pancakes (Crepes) with Cottage Cheese


Ingredients:
BATTER:
250 g (0.5 lb) flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup sparkling mineral water
salt
FILLING:
500 g (1 lb) cottage cheese
4 eggs
150 g (5 oz.) sugar
grated lemon rind
1 tsp vanilla extract
TOPPING:
1 3/4 cups cream

Preparation:

  1. BATTER: Mix eggs with salt. Gradually add flour, milk and mineral water. Mix until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes before cooking.
    Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over medium high heat. Pour approximately 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan evenly. Cook each side until the golden brown (about 2 minutes each side).
  2. FILLING: Whisk egg whites. In a separate bowl mix egg yolks and sugar until foamy. Add cottage cheese, lemon rind, vanilla extract and beaten egg whites.
  3. ASSEMBLE: Add 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture down the center to each crepe and roll up as you would an egg roll. Place them seam side down in the oiled pan. Continue doing that till the pan is full.
  4. Put layer of cream on top of the pancakes till they are all covered. Bake in 175 C (350 F) oven for 15 minutes.
