Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and salt, then make a well in the center.
  2. Pour in the eggs, half the milk and the vanilla, and whisk gently, gradually drawing in the flour until smooth.
  3. Add the rest of the milk and the sparkling water, then the melted butter. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  4. For the filling, mix the cottage cheese with the sugar, egg yolk and lemon zest, then add the raisins if using.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium-high heat, pour in a thin ladleful of batter and swirl to spread it.
  6. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the edge lifts, flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Spread each crêpe with the sweetened cheese or jam, roll it up or fold it in quarters and serve warm.

Variations and tips

Savory version. Fill the crêpes with garlic-sautéed mushrooms and grated cheese, a everyday favorite.

With what's easy to find. Can't find twaróg? Use well-drained cottage cheese or ricotta; the result is much the same.
