MOM'S NALESNIKI (SURPRISINGLY EASY POLISH CREPES)

Steps:

• Combine the flour, salt, egg and 1/2 cup each of milk and water and blend with hand mixer.
• Keep adding the remaining milk and water until you get a batter that's a bit thinner than sour cream. I've included some pictures to get an idea, but it should be pretty runny.
• Heat a frying pan (approx. 9" diameter) over high heat and spray with non-stick spray (or coat with oil that can withstand high temperatures).
• Pour about one and a quarter soup ladle on the center of the hot, greased pan. Tilt the pan immediately to spread the batter around. Remember, the batter may look really thin in spots, but that's ok, it'll still flip once it's cooked through (this is where I always went wrong because it seemed too thin and I panicked, but if it gets too thick it won't set properly).
• Let cook for a few minutes, depending on how hot the pan is this could take from 1-3 minutes. You can tell when it's ready to flip when 1) the crepe slides around when you move the pan and 2) you don't see anymore soft or uncooked areas in the top of the crepe. They're pretty thin so you can literally see the runny sections firm up!
• Flip the crepe over and cook for 30seconds - 1 minutes then slide onto a plate.
• If folding with any mixture, place mixture on half of crepe, fold over then fold over again so you get a quarter triangle. Depending on the filling, they can be served immediately or if using cheese filling (described in the intro, adjust ingredients to your personal preference), fry them up in a bit of butter to get the outside crispy and melt the cheese a bit. For jam or apple sauce, we just roll them up and top with sour cream and/or sugar.

POLISH NALESNIKI

Steps:

• Process ricotta cheese and cream cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy; add egg yolk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt and process until fluffy.
• Divide cheese mixture between the crepes. Spread filling into a thin layer and roll crepes around the filling.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry 3 crepes in melted butter until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes per side; repeat with remaining butter and crepes.

NALESNIKI AKA CREPES

Steps:

• For the batter:
• Mix all the ingredients well in a blender and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• For the filling:
• In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, sugar and the cherries. Combine well and reserve.
• Spray a frying pan with cooking spray. Pour 1/2 cup of batter into the pan and cook until firm (tan, not brown). Turn over and cook the other side. Transfer crepes to a large plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Fill the crepes with the cheese filling and fold as desired. Arrange on a serving platter and serve hot, with whip cream and chocolate powder.

CONNOR'S SWEET CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• Spray a nonstick pan with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup crepe batter into the heated pan. Tilt and swirl the pan until batter evenly coats the surface. Cook until light brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for about 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to cook remaining crepes.
• Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, softened butter, and syrup together in a bowl until smooth.
• To serve, fill each crepe with filling and pecans.
