To prepare it, first knead the dough for ordinary pancakes: 1 cup of milk for one and a half cups of pancake flour. Knead well and bake pancakes.
Then make another batch. For one and a half glasses of pancake flour, we need half a glass of warm milk and half a glass of tomato juice. Knead, bake. We get red pancakes.
Cooking the filling. Take 200 grams of boiled chicken, cut into pieces. Add 3 boiled eggs, diced. Now we need to make the sauce. We take 200 grams of sour cream, squeeze out 2 cloves of garlic, add a tablespoon of mustard and lemon juice. Stir, pour chicken and eggs into this mixture, mix well again and send to the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Then we begin to collect the cake. The first pancake of white color is greased with cream cheese, spread the filling and cover with a red pancake. We repeat this procedure until we get a high cake. It can be decorated with greens, chopped cucumbers or tomatoes.
