30 min · Medium
#comfort#polish#weekend
Sunday morning in Poland: paper-thin golden crepes rolled around a sweet, creamy cheese filling and finished with a spoonful of bright strawberry jam. Comforting, nostalgic, and worth the extra ten minutes.
Ingredientsfor 4 portions
- 2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 2 cup Whole Milk
- 2 large egg Large Eggs
- 5 tsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1.5 cup Cottage Cheese, blitzed or mashed smooth
- 8 tbsp Strawberry Jam
Steps
- Whisk the flour, milk, eggs, and half the sugar together until you have a smooth, thin batter with no lumps.
- Blitz or mash the cottage cheese with the remaining sugar until smooth and creamy - this is the filling.
- Melt a little of the butter in a non-stick crepe pan over medium heat. Pour in a thin layer of batter, swirling to coat the base, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift and the underside is lightly golden.
- Flip and cook the second side for 30-45 seconds, then slide onto a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with a little more butter between crepes.
- Spoon the sweet cheese filling down the center of each warm crepe and roll or fold into quarters.
- Serve two per portion topped with a generous spoonful of strawberry jam.
