Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and sparkling water. Whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
2
Heat a skillet over medium heat, grease it lightly with butter, and cook the pancakes in a thin layer. Set aside to cool.
3
Finely chop the onion and sauté in a pan with a little oil until translucent.
4
Add the finely chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
5
Rinse the sauerkraut, squeeze out the excess water, then chop it finely. Add it to the mushroom and onion mixture. Season with black pepper and cumin, and cook for another 5 minutes.
6
Let the filling cool completely. Divide the filling evenly among the pancakes, place it in the center, and roll up tightly, folding in both ends to create compact cylinders.
7
Roll the filled pancakes in beaten egg, then in breadcrumbs, making sure they are fully coated.
8
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the krokiety until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
9
Remove the krokiety to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm, for example, with hot broth or sour cream.
