Poland's thin pancakes: a simple egg-milk-flour batter cooked into delicate crêpes, rolled around sweet cheese or jam or served savory. Naleśniki are endlessly versatile Polish comfort — soft, foldable and equally at home at breakfast or dessert. Fill them however you like; the tender pancake is the constant.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 3/4 cup Water
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 3 tbs Butter

Instructions

  1. Add flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt in a large bowl then mix with a hand mixer until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
  2. At this point, mix in the butter or the vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can use them to grease the pan before frying each pancake.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour in the batter, swirling the pan to help it spread.
  4. When the pancake starts pulling away a bit from the sides, and the top is no longer wet, flip it and cook shortly on the other side as well.
  5. Transfer to a plate. Cook the remaining batter until all used up.
  6. Serve warm, with the filling of your choice.
