Naliesniki (Filled crepes) Recipe

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, milk, sugar and salt. Gradually add the flour continuing to whisk until the batter is smooth. (This can be done in a food processor). Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, then stir the club soda into the batter.

2. Heat a crepe pan or a 7 inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it's very hot, brush the skillet with about 1/2 tsp of the clarified butter.

3. Remove the pan from heat. Meausre out about 2-1/2 tbsp of the batter and quickly pour it into the pan. Quickly rotate and tilt the pan until the batter covers the bottom completely. Fry on one side until golden, about 1 minute. Turn, and fry on the other side for 10 seconds more. It should be paler than the first side. Remove and set aside. Repeat with the rest of the batter.

4. Place a naliesniki on a cutting board, well-browned side up, and place 2 heaping tbsp of the filling in a row slightly below center. Fold the closest end up over the filling, then fold both sides in toward the center and roll up as you would an egg roll. Repeat with the remaining naliesniki.

5. Heat the oil in a larger skillet over medium heat. Add as many naliesniki as fit comfortably and fry on both sides until golden, about 5 minutes.

6. Repeat with the rest of the naliesniki keeping the cooked ones warm in the oven. Sprinkle sweet naliesniki with confectioners sugar before serving.
