Kobasica u šlafroku (kobasica in a pancake)

Recipes with Slavonska Kobasica

A family dish from Gunja on the Sava, as Rade Kolbas remembers it from his mother's kitchen: a whole, fairly fresh Slavonian kobasica fried in its own fat, rolled into a thin pancake and dipped in Slavonian vrhnje, a sour cream close to crème fraîche. "Šlafrok" is the old Austrian word for a dressing gown, and the pancake wears it. No cookbook lists the dish under this name; it is a home recipe.

Difficulty

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh or lightly smoked Slavonian kobasice (not the dried ones)
  • 2 eggs
  • 300 ml milk
  • 150 g plain flour
  • A pinch of salt
  • A little oil for the pan
  • Thick sour cream (vrhnje) or crème fraîche for dipping

Steps

1

Whisk eggs, milk, flour and salt into a thin batter and let it rest while the sausages cook.

2

Put the whole kobasice into a dry pan over medium heat. Turn them now and then until the casing browns and they sit in their own red paprika fat, about 15 minutes.

3

Bake thin pancakes in a lightly oiled pan, one minute or so per side.

4

Lay one sausage on each pancake and roll it up so both ends stick out. Serve hot with a bowl of sour cream and dip every bite.

Tips

The pancake takes up the paprika fat, so brush a little of it from the sausage pan over the pancake before rolling. One person usually eats a whole sausage.
