Pellinki

Pellinki is a traditional Ukrainian dish, often described as a type of pancake or flatbread. Its primary ingredients typically include flour, eggs, milk or water, and sometimes yeast. The batter is then fried in a pan, similar to how pancakes are made. Pellinki can vary in thickness and texture, with some being thin and crepe-like, while others are thicker and more substantial.

The dish is versatile and can be served in various ways. Sweet variations are common, with pellinki being topped with jam, honey, fresh fruit, or sweetened cheese. Savory versions also exist, where they might be filled with meat, vegetables, or cheese. Pellinki is often a comfort food, enjoyed for breakfast, as a light meal, or as a dessert. Its preparation is relatively simple, making it a popular choice for home cooks. While the exact origin is difficult to pinpoint, it is deeply rooted in Ukrainian culinary traditions and is found in many regional variations across the country.
