This recipe for sweet cheese pancakes is not just a dessert, but a true culinary experience. Yesterday, my son called me that he is coming to visit, and I decided to surprise him with a dish he loves. With a few simple ingredients from the fridge and a lot of love, I made a recipe that brought a smile to his face. Now, I invite you to discover with me how to prepare these divine pancakes! Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 25 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Number of servings: 4 servings (approximately 10-12 pancakes) Ingredients For the pancakes: - 250-300 g flour - 2 eggs - 1 packet of vanilla sugar (approximately 8 g) - A pinch of salt - 100 ml milk - Sparkling water (as needed, to achieve the right consistency) For the filling: - 250 g Quark cheese (or regular cottage cheese) - 4 tablespoons of sugar - 3 eggs - A teaspoon of grated lemon zest - A tablespoon of vanilla pudding powder - Oil for frying - 50 g butter (for greasing and topping) Steps for preparation 1. Preparing the pancake batter In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add the vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Use a whisk or mixer to beat the ingredients together until they become frothy. Gradually add the flour, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Once the flour is well incorporated, add the milk and mix again. Depending on the desired consistency, add sparkling water until you achieve a liquid sour cream-like mixture. This sparkling water will make the pancakes fluffier and airier, so don't skip it! Let the batter rest for 20 minutes. This step is essential to allow the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in finer pancakes. 2. Frying the pancakes Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Use a ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, rotating the skillet to evenly distribute the mixture. Fry the pancakes for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter, adding oil to the skillet only if necessary. 3. Preparing the filling In another bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Beat the yolks with the 4 tablespoons of sugar until you obtain a smooth and fluffy cream. In this mixture, add the cheese, grated lemon zest, and vanilla pudding powder. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients. In another bowl, beat the egg whites until you achieve a stiff peak. Carefully fold the egg white foam into the cheese mixture, using a spatula to maintain the airiness of the composition. This is the key to obtaining a light and soft filling! 4. Assembling the pancakes Fill each pancake with a generous spoonful of cheese filling, roll them up carefully, and place them in a greased baking dish. If you have leftover filling, you can spread it over the rolled pancakes for added flavor. 5. Baking Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Place the dish with pancakes in the oven and let it bake for 25 minutes. The pancakes will become golden and slightly browned, and the filling will be perfectly cooked. 6. Serving After removing them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an appetizing look and delicious aroma. These pancakes are excellent both warm and at room temperature, making them perfect for any time of the day. Useful tip If you want to add a touch of originality, you can include raisins or pieces of fresh fruit, such as apples or peaches, in the filling. Additionally, a fresh fruit sauce or maple syrup can turn these pancakes into a dream dessert! Nutritional information These sweet cheese pancakes are not only delicious but also nutritious.
