Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Soak the raisins in boiling water and leave for 30 minutes. Then, drain the water.
Step 2
Whisk 4 eggs with 30 grams of sugar, add a pinch of salt and sifted flour, and mix. Gradually pour in the milk and knead into a smooth dough. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat the crepe pan well, brush it with melted butter, and pour in a ladle of the crepe batter, spreading it evenly across the pan. Cook the crepe for 2–3 minutes on one side, then flip it and cook for another 1–2 minutes.

Beat the egg and 100 grams of sugar with a pinch of salt and vanilla, then add the cottage cheese and raisins, and mix well.

Place a bit of filling at the edge of the pancake, fold in the sides of the pancake, and then roll the pancake into a rectangular flat pastry.

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 30 grams of clarified butter and place the pancakes seam-side down, browning for 2–3 minutes on each side.
