Nalisniki
For the slow foods gathering, I brought a Ukrainian dish called nalisniki. It is interchangeable and can be served during the main meal or dessert. It is really special to me, since every time I eat nalisniki, I remember Ukraine. They are served at funerals, weddings, family gatherings, and just family meals. They are very popular and favored by all ages.
Prep;
First of all, there is a joke among Ukrainians. How do you tell the difference between an American cook and a Ukrainian cook? Answer: they never use measuring cups. Unfortunately, since I'm Ukrainian, I don’t use measuring cups either.... I guess we all trust our eyes so much!
Milk
Flour
eggs
Sugar
It all depends on how much you want to make, and it's about 1:1:1 ratio, I think. About for every cup of flour you need a cup of milk and 1 egg. The mixture has to be very light and runny.
Cooking: Cook on butter
Tortillas need to be very thin, so do about a ½ cup at a time
Pour it out in the center of the pan and kind of turn the pan a little, so the tortillas will be nice and round.
Filling:
Package of Cream cheese
(Med) Cottage Cheese
Sugar
Egg/s
Drain cottage cheese, and grind it. Add Cream cheese, sugar and an egg. MIX WELL!Spread the filling on the tortillas and roll them up.
Optional: Before rolling, add raisins/nuts or both.
Eat as is after rolling up
Or
Heat in the oven 135F in LOT of butter (Which is what I made for class!)
Or
Cook in butter on pan. Careful, they burn fast!!!!
