NALESNIKI (POLISH PANCAKES)
These are really similar to the pancakes/crepes that I had for the first time last week on a studytour in Russia. They can be dessert or breakfast or whatever. There were a lot of options for fillings, mostly it looked like different flavors of jam, but I don't like fruit so I had mine plain there and found this recipe for a cheese filling when I got back home.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect consistency for your pancake batter, ensure that it is not too thick or too thin. A good rule of thumb is to aim for a consistency similar to that of heavy cream.
- Allow your pancake batter to rest for at least 15 minutes before cooking. This resting period allows the gluten in the flour to relax, resulting in lighter and fluffier pancakes.
- Heat your pan or griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or cooking spray. A well-greased surface will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot pan or griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Serve your pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
