How to Make Ukrainian Nalysnyky Savory With Dill

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar until light and frothy.
  2. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled 7-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet, swirling to spread evenly into a thin circle.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with remaining batter.
  8. While the crepes cook, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine 15 ounces ricotta cheese, 1 large egg, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon sugar, and ¼ cup chopped fresh dill.
  9. Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each crepe, then roll up tightly like a jelly roll.
  10. Arrange the filled crepes in a well-buttered 8x8 inch baking dish.
  11. Pour 1 cup Carnation evaporated milk over the nalysnyky.
  12. Bake in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 35 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden.
  13. Uncover during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the top to brown slightly.
  14. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream. Makes approximately 12 nalysnyky.
  15. For a dessert version, omit the dill and add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar to the ricotta filling.
