Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 small White cabbage
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 1 medium Onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crepe batter by whisking together flour, milk, eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Clean and finely chop the cabbage and mushrooms. Dice the onion.

Step 3

In a large skillet, add butter and sauté onions over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add chopped cabbage and mushrooms to the onions. Season with the remaining salt and black pepper. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with a few drops of vegetable oil.

Step 6

Pour a small amount of crepe batter into the hot pan, swirling to coat the base. Cook until the top is set and edges start to brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another minute. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

Place roughly 2 tablespoons of the cabbage and mushroom filling on one edge of a crepe. Roll tightly into a cylinder, folding the sides over the filling as you roll.

Step 8

Roll the filled crepe in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.

Step 9

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the krokiety until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5 minutes.

Step 10

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
