Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients for the pancakes. It’s best to use slightly moist, non-lumpy curd. The fat content doesn’t matter much. Brick-style curd works perfectly - it’s soft, moderately moist, and smooth. If your curd is dry and clumpy, blend it with an immersion blender or press it through a sieve. Use good-quality all-purpose flour.
Step 2
You can use fresh cherries or frozen - then these filled pancakes are available year-round. If the cherries are fresh, wash and pat dry, remove stems and pits, and place the cherries on a paper towel to absorb excess juice. If using frozen, thaw them first and also place the berries on a paper towel. The net weight of pitted cherries should be about 50 g (about 1.8 oz), so take extra berries.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine the curd, egg, sugar, vanillin, and salt. Mix thoroughly. The mixture will be fairly runny.
Step 4
Add the flour, reserving 2 tbsp for dredging. Knead a pliable, slightly sticky dough. You may need a bit more or less flour depending on how moist the curd is and how wet the mixture turns out.
Step 5
With wet hands, divide the dough into 8-9 same-size balls.
Step 6
Flatten each piece into a round. Place 3-4 cherries on the dough. If the dough sticks a lot, either moisten your hands with water or dust them with flour.
Step 7
Pinch the edges together and shape small round pancakes.
Step 8
Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancakes and fry for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
Step 9
Place the cooked pancakes on a plate and serve hot. You can serve them with sour cream, honey, jam, or a dessert topping. Enjoy your meal!
