Description
In the book by John Smith, 'Russian Cuisine: The Best of 500 Years,' this recipe is titled 'Cottage Cheese Pancakes.' The name is derived from a classic household management book by Mary Johnson, and it's quite simple to explain: in ancient times, any pancakes made with milk and its derivatives were often called cottage cheese pancakes (the kind we all think of as cheese fritters), and the term 'pancakes' refers to the way the folded triangles resembled stitched notebooks. In fact, it's a very convenient recipe: buy 2 liters of milk, let it sour for a couple of days—and you'll have both the whey for the batter and the cottage cheese for the filling ready to go.
Ingredients
- Wheat Flour - 17.6 oz
- Dry yeast - 0.7 oz
- Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
- Whey - 1½ l
- Butter - 1.8 oz
- Vegetable Oil - 1 fl oz
- Cottage cheese - 17.6 oz
- Sugar - 4 spoons
- Salt - 1 tablespoon
Step by Step guide
Step 1
From 2 liters of sour milk, you get just the right amount of fresh cottage cheese, and you can use the whey to make pancake batter.
Step 2
In a glass of warm water, dissolve the yeast and add a tablespoon of sugar. Allow the yeast to activate for about 15 minutes, no longer. Then, using a mixer, combine all the ingredients (add the whey until the consistency resembles that of liquid sour cream) and place the mixture in a warm spot for about an hour. You will need to stir the dough a couple of times to help it settle.
Step 3
Add the whey, adjusting the consistency of the batter as needed. The batter should be as thick as fresh kefir and should bubble well.
Step 4
Cook the pancakes in a frying pan, greasing it with vegetable oil.
Step 5
Remove the pancake from the skillet and place it on a large flat plate.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of sweetened cottage cheese on one half of the pancake. Fold the pancake in half, covering the unspread half with the spread half. Now, spread more cottage cheese on the folded pancake and fold it again to form a triangle (or more accurately, a sector).
Step 7
Place the folded pancake on a plate.
Step 8
Before serving, warm the triangles in butter and serve as usual — with sour cream, honey, or jam.
