Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cottage cheese — Make sure to use a good quality cottage cheese that is creamy and not too dry. If the cottage cheese is too watery, drain it before using.
- Fresh herbs — Feel free to experiment with different combinations of herbs based on your preference. The herbs add a fresh and aromatic flavor to the filling.
Tips & Tricks
- To make the pancakes extra fluffy, let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, cook the pancakes for a slightly longer time on each side.
- Customize the filling by adding ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or cooked bacon for additional flavor variations.
- Serve the stuffed pancakes with a side of fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Serving advice
Serve the Iški Lopiž stuffed pancakes warm as a main course or as a delightful brunch option. Garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an added touch of freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the stuffed pancakes on a platter, placing them seam-side down to showcase the filling. Drizzle a little sour cream over the top and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh herbs for an elegant presentation.
