Instructions

Step 1

Preparing the Batter

First, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs with sugar and a pinch of salt. This helps to incorporate air, making your pancakes fluffy.

Next, add the sunflower oil and pour in half of the milk. Mix well.

Gradually, add the flour while whisking to avoid lumps. It's important to ensure a smooth batter.

Finally, stir in the remaining milk (approximately 350 milliliters) until the batter reaches a consistency similar to heavy cream.

Step 2

Making the Filling

In another bowl, combine the cottage cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Using a blender, blend these ingredients until smooth and creamy.

Next, add a large egg and sour cream to enrich the filling, blending again until fully combined.

Step 3

Assembling the Pancakes

Now, take a pancake, and place a generous amount of cottage cheese filling in the center. Fold the pancake like an envelope to enclose the filling completely.

Place each stuffed pancake into a greased baking dish. Ensure that they are snug but not overcrowded.

For a delicious topping, pour a generous amount of melted butter or a combination of butter and sour cream over the pancakes, sprinkling them with a touch of sugar for sweetness.

Step 4

Baking the Pancakes

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture intact while baking.

Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 to 30 minutes, or until the pancakes are lightly golden and cooked through.

Once ready, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm baked stuffed pancakes!

Servings

Variations

Looking for ways to cater to different diets? We’ve got you covered! If you're after a **gluten-free version**, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. 🌾 To make your pancakes **vegan**, swap out the eggs with flaxseed meal (1 tbsp of flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tbsp of water equals one egg) and use a plant-based milk instead. This way, everyone at your table can enjoy the deliciousness regardless of dietary preferences. Remember, adjustments can always lead to wonderful surprises! 🥳

Faq

  • How do I prevent my pancakes from sticking to the pan?

    Make sure your pan is well-greased before pouring in the batter. Additionally, allow the pancakes to cook thoroughly on one side before flipping them, as this helps create a natural barrier preventing sticking.

  • Can I make the filling ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just give it a quick stir before using it in your pancakes!

  • What can I do if my pancake batter is too thick?

    If the batter seems too thick, you can gradually add more milk until you reach the desired pancake batter consistency. It should be smooth enough to pour but not too runny.

  • Can I add additional flavors to the filling?

    Absolutely! Feel free to mix in your favorite additions like lemon zest, chocolate chips, or even a hint of almond extract for a delightful twist.

  • How can I make my pancakes more fluffy?

    To achieve fluffy pancakes, ensure that your baking powder is fresh and gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry without overmixing. This will keep it airy!

  • Is it okay to freeze the pancakes?

    Yes, you can freeze the cooked pancakes! Lay them flat in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to an airtight container. They’ll last up to a month!
