## Key Points

- Crepes are made with ryazhenka instead of milk, which adds a baked milk flavor and pairs well with the caramel filling.
- The filling consists of cream cheese, boiled condensed milk, and caramelized pear with nut crumbs; more cheese is used than condensed milk to balance the sweetness.
- The dessert does not require an oven or mixer, is made in a frying pan, and is suitable for cooking on a gas stove during power outages.
- Do not put hot pear on the cream cheese; the filling will become too liquid. It is better to let the fruit cool down.
- Allergens: gluten, eggs, milk and dairy products (lactose), nuts.

You can make a complete dessert from standard thin crepes without needing an oven or a mixer: a single frying pan and a few simple ingredients are all you need. This is why this recipe is particularly relevant during power outages — if you have a gas stove at home, the dish can be prepared without electricity. Styler editor Yulia Lyushneva shares her version of fermented baked milk (ryazhenka) crepes with a delicate caramel filling, designed for about ten pieces depending on the diameter of your pan.

### Why use ryazhenka instead of milk in the batter

The key difference in the recipe is replacing regular milk with ryazhenka. It has a characteristic taste of baked milk, which, according to the author, pairs well with the caramel filling and makes the crepes more fragrant. The batter is prepared in the classic way: eggs, sugar, salt, and ryazhenka are cracked into a bowl, whisked until smooth, and then flour is added. Lyushneva emphasizes that she had to experiment with the consistency: too much flour makes the batter thick, almost like pancakes, so one should focus not only on the proportions but also on how the batter spreads in the pan.

### Filling: cream cheese, boiled condensed milk, and pear

For the filling, the author combines cream cheese with boiled condensed milk (dulce de leche). To keep the dessert from being cloying, more cheese is used than condensed milk: their task is to give the cream a caramel flavor without overpowering the delicacy of the cream cheese and pear. The pear is added separately, and the filling is sprinkled with crushed nuts on top. The finished crepes are stacked and covered with a plate — this helps them retain moisture, stay soft, and fold better.

### Assembly and serving: rolls or envelopes

A thin layer of caramel cream is applied to each cooled crepe, topped with some pear and a sprinkle of nut crumbs, and then rolled into small logs or folded into envelopes. A few pieces of caramelized pear and a little nut crumble are left for serving. An important practical tip: do not put hot pear on the cream cheese — the heat will soften the cream and make the filling too runny, so it is better to let the fruit cool down.

### Allergens and summary

The dish contains gluten, eggs, milk and dairy products (lactose), and nuts, which is important to consider during preparation. The result is a homemade dessert that is prepared quickly, without complex equipment, and is suitable for tea or coffee. Previously, Styler reported on how to prepare beetroot pancakes with chocolate cream and plums in wine.
