Filled pancakes Russian cuisine

This is a Russian cuisine dish its a non vegetarian dish

Here is a simple recipe for filled pancakes which are one of the Russian favourites. You can use anything instead of minced meat – berries, cottage cheeze, kidney, fish, etc. – for different satisfying dishes.

Dough:

  • 250 g flour
  • 2.5 glasses milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 0.5 tablespoon sugar
  • salt
  • butter for frying

Filling:

  • 500 g minced meat
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • meat stock cube

First we prepare the pancake dough:

Mix eggs with salt and sugar.
Add half a glass of milk and flour.
Mix the dough well until it is smooth.
Add the remaining milk.

Properly prepared dough should resemble and flow freely like 10% sour cream.

Next we prepare the filling. I use meat mince in this example:

Fry the chopped onion in oil until it is transparent.
Add the mince and a little meat broth.

You can also add boiled and chopped eggs with pepper and salt to the mince. Boiled rice is a nice addition too.

Heat a frying pan well, grease it with lard (white hard pig’s fat) or butter.
Pour dough on the frying pan with a mug or ladle and rock/rotate/turn/swivel the pan until all the dough fills the whole surface thinly.

Brown one side of a pancake.

Remove the pancake and put the filling on the brown side of a pancake.
Fold the pancake like an envelope.

Fry both sides of a pancake on the buttered frying pan.

Serve while hot with sour cream on top.
