Our Recipes: Sweet Crepes (Naleśniki)

Ingredients:
- 1 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tbsp sugar (optional and only for sweet crepes)
- pinch of salt
- around 4 - 6 tsp vegetable oil
- favorite jam

Preparation:
- Pour the flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl. 
- Add eggs and start whisking them into flour. 
- Gradually add milk, then water, stirring to combine. 
- The crepe batter should be clumps free if you mixed everything gradually into the flour. If the clumps occur, you will need to use a food processor to smooth it out. The batter has to be pretty watery. 
- Heat lightly-oiled large skillet (around 1/2 tsp vegetable oil per crepe). 
- Pour 1/2 cup of batter and spread it evenly in circles from the middle towards the edges with a ladle. 
- Fry until golden brown and flip over with a spatula to cook the other side. 
- Move onto a large plate.
- Spread some jam all over, roll it and cut in half. 

Makes 6 crepes.



Tips:
If you add more milk than water or only milk, the crepes will be less flexible and easy to crack while flipping over/rolling. Keep trying to find your favorite milk-water proportions. Believe me, you will figure it out sooner or later :)
You can use Nutella and sliced bananas instead of jam.


My mom has made them since I was a child. She still does whenever we visit, but we also make them often by ourselves. :)

Smacznego!
