Description

Other names for Maslenitsa include Cheese Week or Meat Abandonment. The thing is, meat was not allowed before the strict Great Lent, but butter, cheese, cottage cheese, and other rich treats were enjoyed without reservation. So, instead of filling the pancakes with meat, we will use chicken and cheese. You can use firmer brined cheese or sulguni, or you can opt for soft feta. To add tenderness, we will mix in a bit of yogurt. The green onions will bring a touch of spring greenery and aroma, regardless of the fact that winter is so persistent in our region.

Ingredients

Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
Salt - 1 tablespoon
Water - 10 fl oz
Milk - 10 fl oz
Wheat Flour - 5 oz
Vegetable Oil - 0 fl oz
Feta cheese - 20 oz
Scallions - 0 oz
Chicken fillet - 20 oz
Yogurt powder - 10 oz
Marinated cherries - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Beat the eggs with salt until frothy.

Step 2

Pour boiling water into the eggs while continuing to whisk. The foam will double in volume.

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, then refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes.

Step 5

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