I was very looking forward to coming to Zagreb, especially because my mother travelled with me. My people found out everything about it, so that we could see the main stuff in the city!

They are an excellent meal to quickly prepare for surprise guests: "Let's make some pancakes!" Baked pancakes with cheese require a bit more time to make, as well as the use of an oven, which gives an additional note of seriousness that cannot be accomplished by just using a regular pan, and which will make your dear guests remember this old Zagreb recipe for a long time. It is up to you whether you will share the secret of the preparation with them.
Ingredients for 6-8 persons:
For pancakes:
2 eggs
250 g white smooth flour
200 ml of milk
100 ml of mineral water
½ teaspoon granulated sugar
1 pinch of salt
For stuffing:
4 eggs
120g granulated sugar
10 g vanilla sugar
400 g of fresh cheese
180 g sour cream
50g raisins
30 ml rum
40 g butter
grated zest of one lemon
For topping:
150 g sour cream
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Also:
100 ml oil for frying pancakes
Preparation:
Pour milk in a suitable bowl, add two eggs, salt and sugar. Gradually add flour while continuously whisking, pour in sparkling water and mix into an even mixture. Heat a spoon of oil on a pan over a flame and pour in enough of the pancake mixture to cover the bottom of the pan. Cook on both sides until golden-yellow. Repeat the process to make all of the pancakes. Place fresh cheese in a separate bowl and add sugar, raisins, butter, four eggs, zest half a lemon and mix the ingredients well. Stuff the pancakes with the cheese mixture and arrange them on the bottom of a buttered heat resistant dish. Coat them with a mixture of sour cream and sugar and bake for 25 minutes in an oven preheated to 195°C. Set the baked pancakes on plates, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.
