Polichinke Recipe
Yield: 2 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
1 cup: Flour,
1/4 cup: Sugar,
Powdered sugar,
3: Eggs,
Half and Half,
Jam or jelly, any kind
Cottage cheese,
Directions:
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 dont turn out great, play with the amounts. They
are very rich. Two Polichinke is usually a serving. :)
Extras freeze nicely if wrapped flat in saran and then foil.
