Whisk well to obtain a smooth mixture. - Add the flour, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix again until no lumps remain. The batter should be fluid but slightly thicker than water. - Divide the batter into two equal portions, pouring them into two separate bowls. - In the first portion of batter, add a few drops of red food coloring. Mix well to achieve an even shade. - In the second portion, repeat the process, but use yellow coloring. Cover the bowls with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. 2. Preparing the Cheese Filling - In a bowl, mash the cheese with a fork to make it finer. - Add the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla sugar, sour cream, and chopped dill. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you are ready to use the filling. 3. Baking the Pancakes - In a non-stick skillet, add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over medium heat. - Use a ladle to pour the colored batter into the skillet, ensuring that the bottom is evenly covered. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until it turns lightly golden. Repeat this step for all pancakes, adding oil to the skillet before each pouring of batter. - Place the baked pancakes on a platter and continue with the next portion of batter. 4. Filling and Rolling the Pancakes - After baking all the pancakes, take each pancake and fill it with the cheese mixture.
