Directions
To make pancakes for rolls from pancakes with salmon and cream cheese, it is better to cook them with the addition of starch - they are more elastic and well suited for wrapping the filling. First, mix the eggs with sugar and salt using a hand whisk (you can simply whisk everything with a fork).
Pour half of the total amount of warm milk into the egg mixture and mix.
Sift the flour with potato starch separately and gradually add the dry mixture to the liquid mass, stirring well each time with a whisk.
When the dough becomes homogeneous, without lumps and residual flour, pour in the remaining milk and stir again. Add vegetable oil to the liquid dough and let it rest for 10 minutes at room temperature. Grease a pancake pan with a thin layer of vegetable oil and bake thin pancakes. They bake very quickly and, thanks to the starch, they flip easily without tearing.
Stack the cooked pancakes on top of each other and let them cool down.
While the pancakes are cooling, prepare the filling: you will need cream cheese (you can use processed cheese without fillers).
Cut the fresh cucumber into strips. If the skin is too rough, trim it. Finely chop fresh herbs (dill or parsley).
Slice the lightly salted fish (salmon, trout, or salmon) into strips.
Spread cream cheese on the pancake. If you are using processed cheese and it is difficult to spread on the pancake, you can dilute it with sour cream.
Sprinkle the cheese with chopped herbs (I used dill).
Place cucumber and fish strips closer to the edge of the pancake. If the cucumber is shorter than the pancake, add another cucumber strip to ensure the filling covers the entire width of the pancake.
Tightly roll up the pancake into a roll. Do the same with the remaining pancakes. Chill the pancakes with filling in the refrigerator for about 1 hour to make them easier to slice.
Slice each pancake into rolls approximately 3 cm wide.
Arrange the rolls on a plate and, for convenience, insert a toothpick or skewer into each roll. Sprinkle the finished pancake rolls with chopped herbs. Serve.
