Description

This recipe is for those who often find their first and even second pancake comes out a bit lumpy. Thin lavash makes a great substitute for tender pancake batter, especially when the rolls are generously brushed with beaten egg before baking: in the oven, the lavash will soften, develop a golden crust, and nearly lose its tough bread-like quality. Another tip is to add a bit of semolina to the cottage cheese filling. This won't affect the flavor at all, but you'll be sure that the thickened cottage cheese won't leak out of the roll at the most crucial moment.
