I invite you to discover a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that will transform these versatile dishes into tools for a delightful dessert: cheese and sour cream stuffed pancakes, baked in the oven. This recipe is not only a culinary delight but also a brilliant way to bring a touch of creativity into the kitchen.

The history of pancakes is fascinating, with deep roots in various cultures, appreciated both as savory dishes and desserts. Today, I will share with you a version that combines tradition with innovation, perfect for enjoying with loved ones.

Ingredients for pancakes:
- 2 eggs
- 100 ml oil
- 400 g flour
- a pinch of salt
- 700 ml sparkling water

Ingredients for the filling:
- 500 g cottage cheese
- 300 ml sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 50 g raisins (soaked in water with rum essence)
- grated zest of one lemon
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- granulated sugar, to taste

Pancake preparation

1. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the oil and mix well.
2. Start adding the flour while gradually pouring in the sparkling water. Mix until you obtain a smooth batter, without lumps. The consistency should be slightly more fluid than that of sour cream.
3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Grease it with a little oil or butter before each pancake.
4. Pour a ladle of the pancake batter into the pan and tilt the pan so that the batter spreads evenly. Cook the pancake until the edges turn golden and it is slightly browned on top, then flip it with a spatula to cook the other side.
5. Repeat the process until you finish all the batter, yielding about 8-10 pancakes.

Filling preparation

1. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with the sour cream, eggs, well-drained raisins, grated lemon zest, vanilla sugar, and granulated sugar, to taste. Ensure that the mixture is well combined so that each bite is full of flavor.
2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Pancake assembly

1. Take each pancake and add a spoonful of the cheese filling on one side. Roll the pancake tightly and place it in a greased Pyroflam dish.
2. After arranging the first layer of pancakes, add a layer of sour cream on top. This will make the pancakes even creamier.
3. Roll a new layer of pancakes, placing them perpendicular to the first layer, and repeat the process of adding sour cream. Continue until you fill the dish.
4. Once you have finished arranging the pancakes, place the dish in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a golden and appetizing crust forms on top.

Serving

Remove the pancakes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These cheese and sour cream stuffed pancakes are delicious warm but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. You can decorate them with a bit of fresh sour cream or a fruit sauce for added flavor.

Useful tips

- If you want to add a touch of flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the filling.
- Vary the filling by adding fresh herbs or spices, such as dill or parsley, to transform these pancakes from a dessert into a savory appetizer.
- Experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or ricotta, to achieve a unique texture and flavor.
