Start by preparing the pancakes.
In a deep bowl beat the eggs, add salt and whisk until smooth. A mixer or food processor is great for making pancake batter, but you can get by with a regular whisk.
Pour in the milk and water. Stir.
Stir in the flour through a fine sieve. Stir thoroughly to break up any lumps in the flour.
Pour 20 ml of unscented vegetable oil into the dough. Stir to mix.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center and spread quickly across the bottom of the pan. Fry the pancake for about 1 minute on each side, until golden.
Do the same with all the dough.
Once the pancakes are ready cool a little.
Transfer the poppy seeds to a fine strainer and rinse under running water. Put the poppy seeds in a saucepan, pour water on it and put it on the fire. Bring the water to a boil and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the fire and leave the poppy seeds to cool together with the liquid.
Rinse raisins under running water, put them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Allow to stand for 10-15 minutes.
Heat a dry frying pan.
Chop the walnuts in small pieces, put them in a pan and toast over a low heat, stirring, for 5-7 minutes.
Raisins in a sieve so that the excess liquid can drain off. Then pat dry with a paper towel.
Toss the poppy seeds on a strainer and leave for 15-20 minutes to let all the liquid run out.
Grind the poppy seeds with an immersion blender until a smooth pulp.
Add dried nuts, raisins, orange zest and honey to the chopped poppy seeds. Stir to combine. If the honey is thick, warm it in a water bath.
Roll up the pancakes and cut into 5 mm wide strips. Place the sliced pancakes in a deep bowl.
Add the poppy seed dressing. Stir to mix.
Pancake kutya with poppy seeds, raisins and nuts is ready. You can serve at once.
