Title: Polichinke
Categories: Breakfast, Main dish, Dairy, Neysa
Yield: 2 Servings
1 c Flour
1/4 c Sugar
Powdered sugar
3 Eggs
Half and Half
Jam or jelly (any kind)
Cottage cheese
Beat eggs together. Add sugar and flour. Thin to a
crepe-like batter with half and half. Put 1/4 cup in
buttered hot cast iron skillet and turn it until all
the area is covered very thinly with batter. If it is
thick, add some more 1/2 & 1/2. Turn over and brown
other side. Stack on a plate and cover with foil while
finishing the rest.
When they are all done, spread on some butter and
jam.(We traditionally use Strawberry Jam but any will
do) Then spread a couple tb of cottage cheese on top
of that. Roll like a jelly roll or fold in sides and
then roll like a blintz. Sprinkle with powdered sugar
or dollop with sour cream.
VARIATION: Use Orange juice instead of Half and Half.
Use Orange or Citrus Marmalade or Jelly instead of
other fruit jam.
VARIATION: Leave out sugar. Then make a medium white
sauce, adding a pinch of Old Bay Seasoning. Put cooked
seafood combination in sauce and ladle some on one
side of the "crepe". Fold over and pour some white
sauce on top. (Shrimp, Scallops and Crabmeat is a good
combination but just Shrimp or whatever is good also.)
The crepe ingredients can be increased or decreased
according to how many you want to make. This has
always been a throw-stuff-in-a-bowl recipe so if they
don't turn out great, play with the amounts. They are
very rich. Two Polichinke is usually a serving. :)
