Thin, delicate crepes rolled around sweet cheese, jam, or meat fillings, served warm with sour cream and powdered sugar for a versatile Moldovan favorite.

Ingredients

  • 200g all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 400ml milk
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter for pan
  • For filling: 250g fresh cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla
  • Sour cream for serving
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. 1 Whisk eggs with milk, sugar, melted butter, and salt until smooth. Gradually add flour, whisking to prevent lumps.
  2. 2 Let batter rest for fifteen minutes. It should be thin, like heavy cream. Add more milk if needed.
  3. 3 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of butter. Pour a thin layer of batter and swirl to coat.
  4. 4 Cook for one minute until edges lift and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully and cook thirty seconds more.
  5. 5 Mix fresh cheese with sugar and vanilla for filling. Place a line of filling across each crepe and roll tightly.
  6. 6 Arrange rolled crepes on a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Did You Know?

Moldovan grandmothers can tell when a crepe is ready to flip by the sound it makes in the pan, a subtle crackling that indicates the edges are perfectly done.
