Ingredients

• 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 250 milliliters Milk (preferably whole or lactose-free)
• 150 milliliters Sparkling water
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter or neutral oil (for frying)
• 250 grams Cottage cheese (or farmer's cheese)
• 100 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Raisins (optional)
• 100 grams Sour cream (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, milk, sparkling water, eggs, granulated sugar, and salt until smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with butter or oil.

Step 3

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet and quickly swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.

Step 4

Cook the pancake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional minute. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 5

To make the cheese filling, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and raisins (if using) in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Place one cooked pancake on a flat surface. Spread a tablespoon of the cheese filling evenly over one side of the pancake. Roll it up tightly into a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining pancakes and filling.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly brown the filled pancakes in a skillet with a bit of butter for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Serve the Turos Palacsinta warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
