Nalesniki (Polish Pancakes) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    batter
    225 g flour
    1 egg
    3 eggs, separated
    300 ml milk
    300 ml water
    1 tablespoon oil
    1 pinch nutmeg
    1 teaspoon salt
    25 g butter (for greasing the pan)
    cottage cheese filling
    25 g butter
    1 egg yolk
    250 g cottage cheese
    sugar (I would use about a tablespoon and a half.)
    1 pinch vanilla sugar
    milk
Preparation
    Batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl.
    Add the egg and the egg yolks from the separated eggs.
    Add the milk, water, oil and nutmeg and mix thoroughly.
    Whisk the egg whites together with the salt until stiff, and fold into the batter.
    Filling: Cream the butter with the egg yolk and mix together with the cheese.
    Add the sugar and vanilla sugar.
    Mix well.
    If the mixture is too stiff, add a little bit of milk.
    Putting It Together: Melt some of the butter over medium heat in a small frying pan.
    When it's hot, pour in about 2tbs of batter and cook on both sides until lightly browned.
    Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven at low heat.
    Repeat until all of the batter is used.
    Put a tablespoonful of filling on each pancake, fold over and serve hot.
