Recipe type: Pancakes | Crepes
Cuisine: Ukrainian
Serves: 14-16
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups warm milk
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup whole wheat buckwheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, sugar and salt.
  2. Add flours, cornstarch, vanilla and butter. Mix well.
  3. Pour in milk, a little at a time, and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth. The batter should be runny.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan, on high temperature.
  5. Add a little bit of oil, just a few drops. Reduce the flame.
  6. Ladle the batter onto the center of the skillet and immediately swirl it so that it evenly coats the bottom of the pan.
  7. When the underside turns brown, flip the crepe over and cook for a few more seconds. Stack the mlyntsi on a plate to keep them from drying out.
  8. Spread cottage cheese or ricotta cheese over each crepe and roll it. You can add some vanilla and sugar and mix it with the ricotta cheese, but I left it plain.
Notes
Makes: 14 – 16 using a 10-inch skillet. If you make them thinner or use a smaller skillet, you will get more crepes.
