Delicious Polskie Nalesniki (Polish Pancakes) Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup milk (preferably whole milk)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter (melted, plus more for frying)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
  • 1 cup fruit preserves (for filling, optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for serving, optional)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt until smooth.

    Make sure there are no lumps for a smooth batter.
  2. Add Butter

    Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes for best results.
  3. Heat the Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

    Use a paper towel to spread the butter evenly.
  4. Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the pan evenly.

    Cook until edges are dry and bubbles form, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Flip and Finish

    Flip the pancake and cook for another minute until golden brown.

    Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
  6. Serve

    Serve warm with fruit preserves and a dusting of powdered sugar.

    Add whipped cream for extra indulgence!
