These fluffy cottage cheese filled crepes are called in Poland Nalesniki. I combined cottage cheese with condensed milk for extra sweetness.

Cooking Time: 30min

Serving: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:

Crepes:

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup carbonated water (or regular water)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil (for cooking)

Filling:

  • 150gr cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons of dried strawberries

Extra:

  • powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, milk and salt.

  2. After initial whisking add egg and melted butter.

  3. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

  4. While the batter is resting, prepare the cottage cheese filling by combining cottage cheese, condensed milk and dried strawberries.

  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  6. Pour 1/4 cup of crepe batter onto the skillet for each crepe. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  7. Once all the crepes are cooked, spread a spoonful of cottage cheese filling onto one side of each crepe.

  8. Roll the crepes in to enclose the filling.

  9. Add 2 tablespoons of butter into the frying pan. Add filled with cottage cheese crepes and fry again until crispy and golden.

  10. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
