Time 55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup water (lukewarm)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons butter (melted)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1 tablespoon butter for frying

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a blender or food processor , combine flour, milk, water, eggs, butter, and salt and process until smooth.
  • Transfer batter to a pitcher. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes so liquid can be absorbed by the flour.
  • Heat a crepe pan or small skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with butter. Using a 2-ounce ladle, spoon 1 portion of batter into pan.
  • Immediately rotate pan and swirl batter until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook until crepe is lightly brown or spotted brown on underside. Flip and cook second side until it is light brown.
  • Remove crepe to waxed paper or parchment paper and repeat with remaining batter. You may need to recoat the pan with butter as you cook crepes.
  • Place 2 heaping tablespoons of savory filling or sweet filling on each naleśniki. Fold sides in first and then fold bottom up, rolling away from yourself, similar to an egg roll or burrito.
  • Filled naleśniki should then be pan-fried in butter over medium-high heat or baked in a buttered casserole dish at 350 F until the filling is set.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, milk, and butter will give your pancakes the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your pancakes tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking helps the ingredients to fully hydrate and results in a more tender pancake.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Medium heat is the best temperature for cooking pancakes. This will prevent them from burning and allow them to cook evenly.
  • Flip the pancakes only once: Once the pancakes start to bubble around the edges and the bottom is golden brown, it's time to flip them. Flipping them too early can cause them to break.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: Pancakes are best served hot off the griddle. You can keep them warm in a preheated oven until you're ready to serve them.

Conclusion:

Polish pancakes are a delicious and versatile breakfast or brunch dish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these pancakes at home and enjoy them with your family and friends.
