Ingredients

  • 2 cups all
  • purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups milk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 4 slices smoked salmon
  • 4 large eggs
  • Fresh dill, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking
  • Dill sauce (sour cream mixed with chopped fresh dill)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Gradually add the milk and eggs, stirring until smooth. Fold in the sour cream.
  3. Heat a non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface with olive oil.
  4. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet, swirl to create a thin circle. Cook for 1 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges are golden. Flip and cook for another 1 2 minutes until done. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. In a separate non stick pan, cook eggs to your desired doneness.
  6. To assemble, layer two Strapki together with smoked salmon, creamy egg, and a dollop of dill sauce. Garnish with fresh dill. Repeat for each serving.

The key to perfect Strapki is ensuring the skillet is hot enough and adding a small amount of batter at a time.
