Envelopes are part of a compound dish, which is characterized by the presence of a filling and a shell for its retention. For example, well-known stuffed pancakes. The main requirement for envelopes is a sufficiently thin and elastic material from which they are folded. And of course, delicious. After all, they are edible, as well as the filling in them. And to taste, the outer shell should be combined with the inner contents.

1
The most common envelopes are from pancakes. To make them, pancakes are made thin and small in size. So, envelopes from pancakes are open and closed. Open - it's just a four-fold pancake with liquid filling or a roll rolled up from a pancake. Closed envelopes from pancakes can be folded in several ways.
Envelope tube. Lay the filling on one edge of the pancake, stepping back a little. Wrap it on the filling. Then wrap inward the edges on the sides. Gently roll the spring roll with the tube and fry in oil with the open edge down so that the tube does not break up.

Rectangular envelope. Lay the filling also on the edge of the pancake, then roll the pancake with the filling several times, tuck the side edges inward, form a flat envelope that is fried in oil with the edge down
3
Envelope Triangle. Place the filling in the center of the pancake, lightly crush it with a spoon to make it flat. Wrap the two side edges at an angle towards each other. Also wrap the bottom edge inward. The result was a large triangle with a filling in the center. Fold the corners of the triangle inward on top of each other. Fry in oil with folded corners down.

Another common envelope is from a cabbage leaf. It is used for making cabbage rolls. Boil the cabbage leaf for 1-2 minutes in boiling water. It will become soft like a rag. The secret to successfully folding the envelope is that the filling should be placed on the stalk of the cabbage leaf, i.e. at the junction of the sheet with a head of cabbage. Then gently wrap the filling in the sheet once, tuck the side edges inward, then fold or roll the stuffed cabbage, fry it in oil, edge down.

Puff pastry envelopes. Cut a sheet of puff pastry into squares. Put the filling in the center, collect the corners of the square together at the top, gently press them with your fingers. Bake the envelope in the oven.
