Ingredients

For the pancake batter:
- 250 ml milk
- 250 ml mineral water or soda
- 2 eggs
- A pinch of salt
- 250 g flour
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

For the filling:
- 500 g cheese
- A bunch of fresh dill
- 15-20 green onion leaves
- 1-2 tablespoons oil (optional, to enrich the filling)

Preparing the pancake batter

1. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, add the milk, mineral water, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients well until the mixture becomes homogeneous.

2. Adding the flour: Gradually incorporate the flour while continuously mixing to avoid lumps. You will obtain a fluid and creamy batter, ideal for pancakes.

3. Flavoring the batter: If desired, you can add some chopped green onion leaves and dill to the batter to give it an attractive aroma and color.

Cooking the pancakes

4. Heating the pan: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease it with a little olive oil.

5. Baking the pancakes: Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling it to form a thin pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and slightly crispy. Repeat the process until all pancakes are ready, gathering them on a plate.

Preparing the filling

6. Preparing the filling: In a separate bowl, add the cheese and finely chopped dill. Mix well to combine the ingredients. If you prefer a more flavorful filling, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of oil and a pinch of salt to taste.

Assembling the bags

7. Filling the pancakes: On each pancake, add a portion of the cheese and dill filling. Fold the pancake in half or roll it up, depending on your preference.

8. Tying with green onion: For a special appearance, use green onion leaves to tie the bags. This detail not only adds a splash of color but also a surprising aroma.

Serving and variations

Bags with cheese and dill can be served warm, alongside a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce with garlic. You can also experiment with various herbs, such as basil or parsley, to diversify the filling.
