Polskie Nalesniki (Polish Pancakes)

Method6 steps

1. 1

   Step 1: Put all the flour (1 cup), both eggs (2), all the milk (1 cup) and water (¾ cup), the pinch salt and the teaspoon sugar (1 tsp) in a large bowl. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and free of lumps.

   Uses 1 cup flour · 2 eggs · 1 cup milk · ¾ cup water · 1 pinch salt · 1 tsp sugar for batter

2. 2

   Step 2: Melt the three tablespoons butter gently and hold it in a small bowl. Use this butter only to grease the pan before each pancake, keeping it separate from the batter and dividing it across the batch as needed.

   Uses 3 tbsp butter for greasing pan, divided across pancake batches

   Step 3: Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a little of the actual melted butter. Pour in enough of the actual batter for one thin pancake, swirling the pan to spread it evenly over the base.

   Step 4: Cook the actual pancake until its top is no longer wet and its edges begin to release from the pan. Turn it carefully and cook the second side briefly until lightly golden and the egg batter is fully set throughout.

   Step 5: Transfer the actual cooked pancake to a plate. Repeat the same greasing, thin pouring and two-sided cooking process with the actual remaining batter, using a little of the held melted butter before each pancake, until all the batter is cooked. Stack the cooked pancakes as you go.
