Palachinke

(Croatian blintzes)

Batter:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large beaten egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup whole milk

Sweet Cheese Filling:

• 1 pound cottage cheese
• 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons tapioca
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 large slightly beaten eggs 

Topping:

• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1 large beaten egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons sugar

1. In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Let rest, covered and refrigerated, for 1 1/2 hours while you make the palachinke. 
   
   
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the batter ingredients until smooth. Transfer to bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes so the liquid can be absorbed by the flour. 
   
   
3. Using a 2-oz ladle, portion out batter into a nonstick skillet that has been coated with equal parts butter and oil. Rotate pan and swirl batter until it covers the entire bottom of pan. Cook until lightly brown or spotted brown on the underside. Turn and cook second side until light brown.
   
   
4. Remove to waxed paper or parchment paper and repeat with remaining batter, separating palachinke with waxed paper or parchment. At this point, palachinke can be used immediately or wrapped and frozen up to 1 month. 
   
   
5. Place 2 heaping tablespoons filling along one edge of each palachinke and roll away from yourself. 
   
   
6. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place filled palachinke on a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet. Comine all topping ingredients, mixing well, and spread on top of filled palachinke. Bake 20 minutes.
