Nalistniki (pancakes)

4 servings

40 minutes

Nalistniki are traditional Ukrainian pancakes, light and tender with a golden crust. They originated in the ancient cuisine of Slavic peoples and were often used as a base for stuffing with cottage cheese, meat, or berries. Their taste is delicate and airy with soft creamy notes and a hint of sweetness. The batter is made from eggs, milk, and flour to create a smooth texture without lumps. Nalistniki are fried until appetizingly golden and served with honey, jam, or sour cream. This versatile dish can be breakfast or dessert and sometimes even a festive treat conveying the warmth of Ukrainian cuisine.
