Ukrainian Nalysnyky (Savory With Dill) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 eggs, well beaten
    1 1/2 cups milk
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose white flour
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon oil
    CHEESE FILLING
    2 cups cream-style cottage cheese
    2 eggs, well beaten
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 tablespoon sugar
    1 tablespoon chopped dill
    sweet cream, to pour over pancakes (just to cover in one layer)
Preparation
    TO MAKE THE BATTER, mix eggs, milk, and 1 Tablespoon sugar together.
    Add vanilla and oil.
    Sift flour, baking powder and salt together and add to milk mixture, stirring until smooth.
    Using a greased frying pan, fry the batter into thin pancakes like you would do crepes using 1/4 cup of batter per crepe.
    Use a 7 inch non-stick crepe pan or any non-stick pan of that size.
    Swirl the batter around to cover pan.
    I use a brush to lightly brush pan each time with oil or butter.
    TO MAKE THE FILLING, mix cottage cheese, eggs, salt, 1 Tablespoon sugar and dill.
    Spread over each pancake with filling about 2 tablespoons and roll up like a jelly roll.
    Arrange on a well buttered casserole, and pour sweet cream over nalysnyky.
    Bake at 300 F, for 35 minutes. Uncover towards the end so that they will brown a little. Serve with sour cream. Makes about 12 nalysnyky.
    For dessert Nalysnyky leave out the dill in the cottage cheese and add a bit more sugar to taste if you wish.
    Wheatland Bounty.
