These traditional Polish crepes are filled with a sweet, creamy farmer's cheese mixture enhanced with a fragrant hint of orange zest. Unlike standard crepes, this version is pan-fried in butter after filling to create a delightful crispy exterior that gives way to a warm, soft center.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, sparkling water, whole eggs, salt, and 1 tablespoon of melted butter until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a little butter.
Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling immediately to coat the bottom in a thin layer. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bottom is light golden, then flip and cook for another minute. Repeat until all batter is used.
In a medium bowl, make the filling by mashing the cheese with the egg yolk, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest until creamy.
Place a spoonful of filling onto the center of each crepe and spread it slightly.
Fold the two sides of the crepe inward over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom like a burrito.
Melt the remaining butter in the skillet over medium heat.
Place the filled rolls seam-side down in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm, dusted with extra powdered sugar or topped with a dollop of sour cream.
