Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for frying)
- optional sweet fillings (jam, sweetened cream cheese, Nutella)
- optional savory fillings (sautéed mushrooms, cheese, spinach)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk, water, eggs, and melted butter. Beat until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and lump-free. The batter should be thin and pourable. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, and the bottom is lightly golden.
Flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute on the other side.
Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Fill each Polish pancake with your chosen sweet or savory filling, roll or fold them, and serve hot.
