How to Make Nalesniki Polish Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and eggs until smooth.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  5. While the pancakes are cooking, prepare the cheese filling: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, egg yolk, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Once the pancakes are cooked, spread a spoonful of the cheese filling onto each pancake.
  7. Fold the pancakes in half or into quarters, and serve immediately. Optional: Top with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
