Ingredients

2 egg
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup farmer's cheese or ricotta
4 tbsp sour cream
3 cups frozen mixed berries
4 tbsp sugar (for compote)
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1

In a blender or bowl, combine 2 egg, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tbsp butter (melted), and 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
2

To make the filling, mix 1 cup farmer's cheese or ricotta with 4 tbsp sour cream in a small bowl.
3

To make the compote, combine 3 cups frozen mixed berries, 4 tbsp sugar (for compote), and 2 tsp lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside.
4

Heat 1 teaspoon of 2 tbsp vegetable oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan and quickly tilt and rotate the pan to spread the batter thinly into a circle.
6

Cook for about 30 seconds until the bottom is light golden, then flip and cook the other side for 10-15 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
7

Repeat with remaining batter, lightly oiling the pan as needed.
8

Spread each crepe with a thin layer of the 1 cup farmer's cheese or ricotta filling, roll tightly, and place on a serving plate.
9

Drizzle with the warm 3 cups frozen mixed berries compote and serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Mlyntsi with Berry Compote dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp butter (melted), 1 cup farmer's cheese or ricotta, 4 tbsp sour cream. Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Mlyntsi with Berry Compote gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Mlyntsi with Berry Compote keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Mlyntsi with Berry Compote?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
