Instructions
It is important that all pancake ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps in the batter. Beat the eggs, butter, sugar, and milk in a large bowl for a few minutes until smooth. Gradually add the flour, beating well after each addition. Beat until there are no lumps!
Preheat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add about 60 grams of batter to the pan at a time, tilting it so that the batter covers the entire surface of the pan. Cook the pancakes on the first side for 1 minute, then flip the flatbread when the pancake starts to turn golden brown. Cook on the other side for 30 seconds, then remove and place on a plate.
Preheat the oven to 175 °C (350 °F).
Next, we prepare the filling. Place the cheese, egg, sugar and optional vanilla in a large bowl. Use a large spoon to mix everything together until smooth. If desired, add 1/3 cup raisins or dried cranberries to the filling.
For each pancake: Place a generous amount of filling (about 2 tablespoons) in the center of each pancake. Fold each pancake like an egg roll: fold the sides first, then fold the top. Or distribute the filling evenly around the edges and roll the pancakes into a log. Place the puff pastry, seam side down, in a large glass baking dish or casserole dish.
Add cubed butter on top of the pancakes and cover the pan with foil. Bake cheese pancakes for 30 minutes; bake the first 20 minutes covered with foil and the last 10 minutes without foil.
Allow the cheesecake to cool slightly before serving with fruit and/or whipped cream.
Bon appétit!
