Nalystnyks i.e. stuffed thin pancakes, is a traditional Ukrainian dish, which is rather simply to cook. Its stuffing varies a lot. If one uses the savory stuffing (mushrooms or meat), it is served as a main course, if the stuffing is sweet (fruits or berries), they are served as a dessert.
One of the most popular nalystnyks is the one stuffed with cottage cheese. It is national Ukrainian breakfast. It is a quick-to-cook dish that possesses inimitable taste and provides lots of energy and vitamins for the day.
Commonly, nalysnyks are served with sour cream, or if they are sweet, it is better to complement them with jam. Moreover instead of being wrapped as an envelope, nalystnyks could be served rolled up into the tube or cut into pieces.
