POLISH NALESNIKI
Sweet cheese filling goes well with sweet Polish nalesniki, also known as Polish blintzes or filled crepes. Once filled and rolled, they can be baked, pan-fried, or dipped in beaten egg and bread crumbs and fried. Serve with fruit sauce, like a fresh blueberry sauce, if desired.

NALESNIKI (POLISH PANCAKES)
These are really similar to the pancakes/crepes that I had for the first time last week on a studytour in Russia. They can be dessert or breakfast or whatever. There were a lot of options for fillings, mostly it looked like different flavors of jam, but I don't like fruit so I had mine plain there and found this recipe for a cheese filling when I got back home.

Steps:
- Batter: Sift the flour into a large bowl.
- Add the egg and the egg yolks from the separated eggs.
- Add the milk, water, oil and nutmeg and mix thoroughly.
- Whisk the egg whites together with the salt until stiff, and fold into the batter.
- Filling: Cream the butter with the egg yolk and mix together with the cheese.
- Add the sugar and vanilla sugar.
- Mix well.
- If the mixture is too stiff, add a little bit of milk.
- Putting It Together: Melt some of the butter over medium heat in a small frying pan.
- When it's hot, pour in about 2tbs of batter and cook on both sides until lightly browned.
- Remove from pan and keep warm in the oven at low heat.
- Repeat until all of the batter is used.
- Put a tablespoonful of filling on each pancake, fold over and serve hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your naleśniki will be.
- Make sure your batter is thin enough. If the batter is too thick, your naleśniki will be thick and doughy. A good rule of thumb is to make the batter the consistency of heavy cream.
- Cook your naleśniki in a hot pan. If the pan is not hot enough, your naleśniki will stick. A good way to test if the pan is hot enough is to flick a few drops of water into it. If the water sizzles, the pan is hot enough.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you cook too many naleśniki at once, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in small batches, about 2-3 at a time.
- Flip your naleśniki carefully. Naleśniki are delicate, so be careful when you flip them. Use a wide spatula and flip them quickly and gently.
- Serve your naleśniki immediately. Naleśniki are best served hot and fresh. You can top them with your favorite fillings, such as fruit, cheese, or meat.
Conclusion:
Naleśniki are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be filled with a variety of different fillings. With a little practice, you can make perfect naleśniki every time.
