Stuffed pancakes with salty cheese, dill, and ham are quite quick to make and are best served warm. The batter is simple, made with water, eggs, flour, and melted butter, and the filling doesn’t require separate cooking. The cheese and ham are placed directly on the pancake, which is then folded and browned on both sides. The quantities below yield pancakes depending on how thin you make them and the diameter of the pan. Quick Info Total time: not specified in the original recipe Preparation time: not specified Cooking time: not specified; pancakes are cooked one at a time in the pan Servings: not specified; the number depends on the size and thickness of the pancakes Difficulty: easy Recipe type: savory pancakes, suitable for breakfast, a snack, or a simple meal Ingredients For the batter 250 g water 125-150 g flour 1-2 eggs A pinch of salt 2 tablespoons melted butter For the filling 250 g salty cheese; in the original recipe, sheep cheese was used 1 bunch of fresh dill 150 g ham For the pan A little oil Instructions 1. Prepare the pancake batter Place the eggs in a bowl and whisk them with the flour using a whisk. Gradually add the water while continuously mixing to achieve a smooth batter. Finally, add the melted butter and a pinch of salt. The batter should be thin and creamy. The amount of flour can vary between 125 and 150 g, depending on the desired consistency. 2. Prepare the filling Grate the salty cheese and ham on a large grater. Finely chop the fresh dill, then mix all the ingredients in a bowl. There is no need to cook the filling beforehand. It is placed directly on the pancakes that are nearly browned. 3. Cook the pancakes Add a little oil to a pan and let it heat up. Pour a ladle of the pancake batter into the pan and swirl it around so that the batter spreads into an even layer. When the pancake is almost browned, place the cheese, dill, and ham mixture on one half. Fold the other half over the filling to cover it. 4. Brown the stuffed pancake Flip the pancake on each side and let it brown until golden. Repeat the process with the remaining batter and filling. The pancakes are served warm, when the cheese is well heated, and the exterior is golden brown. Why I make this recipe often It's a practical recipe when I want something savory without complicated preparation. The batter mixes quickly, and the filling is made simply by grating the ingredients and chopping the dill. The salty cheese adds flavor, the ham makes the pancakes more filling, and the dill keeps them fresh in aroma. I also like that each pancake can be filled as it cooks. There’s no need to prepare a filling on the stove, and there are no separate steps before frying. Tips Add the water gradually to the egg and flour mixture. This way, the batter will blend more easily and can be adjusted according to consistency. Use the amount of flour indicated in the recipe. With 125 g of flour, the batter will be thinner, while with 150 g it will be slightly thicker. The important thing is that it remains thin and creamy, not thick. Mix the filling before you start cooking the pancakes, so the cheese, ham, and dill are evenly distributed. Place the filling on the pancake when it is nearly browned. If you add it too early, the batter may not be fully cooked before folding. Stuffed pancakes should be flipped carefully, as they are heavier than plain ones. Brown them on both sides without letting them burn. Substitutions The salty cheese can be sheep cheese, as used in the original recipe, but you can also use another type of salty cheese depending on what you have on hand. The amount remains 250 g. Fresh dill is the ingredient that gives the filling its specific flavor. If you don’t have a large bunch, use the amount available without compensating with other ingredients. The ham can be grated if the texture allows it. If it is softer, it can be finely chopped so that it mixes well with the cheese and dill. Variations You can make the batter with 1 egg or 2 eggs, as the recipe allows for both options. With the same amount of water, adjust the flour between 125 and 150 g to maintain the thin consistency of the batter. For a simpler filling, you can use only salty cheese and dill. If you want heartier pancakes, keep the 150 g of ham. The amount of filling placed on each pancake can be adjusted according to its size. The important thing is that the filling remains on one half, making folding easier. Serving ideas Serve the pancakes immediately after browning while they are warm. They can be placed on a plate and served as is, without additional toppings, as the salty cheese, ham, and dill already provide the main flavor. If you prepare multiple pancakes, keep them together until serving and warm them up before the meal. They are suitable for a savory breakfast, snack, or light dinner. Frequently Asked Questions Can I use just one egg? Yes. The recipe allows for 1-2 eggs. If you use one egg, monitor the consistency of the batter and keep the flour amount between 125 and 150 g, so it remains thin and creamy. What kind of cheese is used? Salty cheese is used, and in the original recipe, sheep cheese is specified. You can choose another type of salty cheese, but the final taste will depend on how salty it is. When is the filling added? The filling is added to one half of the pancake when it is nearly browned. Then the pancake is folded and flipped on both sides until browned. Why should water be added gradually? Adding water gradually helps to form a smooth batter. Additionally, you can more easily see if the batter has reached the necessary thin and creamy consistency. Can they be served cold? They can also be eaten after cooling, but the recipe is intended for warm serving. In this form, the pancake is more pleasant, and the filling is heated through. Nutritional values The values below are estimates for the entire recipe, as the number of pancakes and serving sizes are not specified. They may vary depending on the type of cheese, ham, number of eggs used, and the amount of oil absorbed during cooking. For the entire recipe, the estimate is approximately 1,800-2,100 kcal, without being able to calculate the exact oil used in the pan. Proteins: approximately 90-110 g Fats: approximately 105-130 g Carbohydrates: approximately 130-155 g If you make multiple pancakes, the values per piece will be lower. The cheese and ham contribute the most to the protein and fat content, while the flour provides the majority of carbohydrates. The salt can vary significantly depending on the cheese used. Storage and reheating Pancakes are best when freshly made and served warm. If there are leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in a covered container and consume them after reheating. To reheat, place the pancakes back in the pan and warm them on both sides until hot. Avoid browning them too much, as the batter can dry out and the edges can become tough.
