Pancakes with Cottage Cheese and Vanilla Filling

Ingredients for pancakes:

• Milk – 500 ml

For the filling:

• Cottage cheese – 300 g

Step-by-step preparation:

• Heat a frying pan, lightly grease it, and bake thin pancakes over medium heat.
• Mash the cottage cheese with sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft and creamy.
• Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cottage cheese mixture on the edge of each pancake and roll it up. You can lightly fry the finished pancakes in butter – this will make them golden brown and warm.

• Place the filling on each pancake and roll it into a roll or “cigarette.” Reheat in the oven before serving or lightly toast. Serve with sour cream and garlic sauce.

Apple and Cinnamon Pancakes

Ingredients for the filling:

• Apples – 3-4
• Sugar – 3 tbsp
