Cooking instructions

1.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt together. Adding salt helps balance the flavors and accentuate the sweetness, creating a richer taste.
2.
Gradually add the flour to the egg mixture, mixing thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency. Add a few tablespoons of flour at a time, mixing gently. The batter should be as thick as rich sour cream.
3.
Ensuring a lump-free batter is crucial. Start by adding 2–3 tablespoons of milk at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Repeat this process several times, then gradually pour in the remaining milk, stirring well after each addition. Although the batter may feel thick at first, it will eventually become smooth and fluid.
4.
Finally, incorporate some oil into the batter and mix thoroughly. This step ensures the crepes are more flexible and prevents them from sticking to the pan.
5.
Preheat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. As the batter already includes oil, greasing the pan is only necessary for the first nalysnyk.
6.
Pour the batter in small portions, evenly spreading it into a thin layer over the entire frying pan. Fry on both sides until golden (1-2 minutes). Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning.
7.
Combine the cottage cheese with sugar for the filling. If the cheese isn't homemade, it's a good idea to blend it with an immersion blender until smooth.
8.
Cut the crepes into three parts, spread the filling on each part, and fold them into triangles.

What’s next?

The first option is to enjoy the nalysnyky immediately after making them.

The second option is to melt some butter in a pan and fry the nalysnyky until golden on both sides.

Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven: grease the bottom of a baking dish with butter, layer the Nalysnyky, and top with a bit more butter. Repeat the layers as necessary, and then bake in a preheated oven at 140°C for 20 minutes.
