Sorrel with Pancakes
Appetizers • Russian
Description
Essentially, this is a pancake casserole. It was a fairly common dish in the 19th century. In noble families, efforts were made to diversify meals, baking many loaves, both sweet and savory, and preparing casseroles. The logic is the same everywhere: you take pancakes, spread them with a filling, then either layer them or roll them up, pour eggs or sour cream over the top, and bake. In this case, the second flavor chosen is sorrel — resulting in a delightful seasonal dish.
