Ok. Let’s do the stuffing. Boil some potatoes in salt water, pour out water and mash potatoes (I add some milk while mashing). Cut onions to small pieces and fry onions with minced meat. Mix everything.

I fold the stuffing into pancakes the following way: put the stuffing in the center of the pancake and fold it from two sides, then I roll the pancake from one of its other two sides.

1 liter of milk
200-300 g of weat flour
