Ingredients

Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Salt - 1 tablespoon
Water - 8 fl oz
Milk - 8 fl oz
Wheat Flour - 5.1 oz
Vegetable Oil - 2 spoons
Raisins - 1.8 oz
Oranges - 1 piece
Semi-soft cream cheese - 7.1 oz
Sour Cream - 1 tablespoon
Powdered Sugar - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat the eggs with salt until frothy.

Step 2

Pour boiling water into the eggs while continuously whisking. The foam will double in size.

Step 3

Pour in the cold milk while keeping the mixer running.

Step 4

Finally, sift in the flour and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Mix well to avoid lumps, and then refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Heat the crepe pan — for the first crepe, you can grease it with vegetable oil, while the subsequent ones can be cooked without it. Pour a little batter onto the pan and spread it evenly across the surface.

Step 6

Fry for about 2 minutes over medium heat, then flip and fry for another minute. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.

Step 7

Soak the raisins in boiling water to plump them up, then drain the water, squeeze out the excess moisture from the raisins, and dry them with paper towels.

Step 8

Grate the zest from the orange using a fine grater, being careful to avoid the white pith. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth. Mix the cottage cheese with sour cream, powdered sugar, raisins, and the orange zest.
