About
Polskie Nalesniki (Polish Pancakes) is listed as dessert from Poland. The steps below are the imported TheMealDB method, not an editorial rewrite. Times shown are typical kitchen times, because the source method did not list minutes.
Ingredients
Scaling multiplies the written quantities. Baking still prefers a scale.
Steps
Step 1
Add flour, eggs, milk, water, and salt in a large bowl then mix with a hand mixer until you have a smooth, lump-free batter. At this point, mix in the butter or the vegetable oil.
Step 2
Alternatively, you can use them to grease the pan before frying each pancake. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour in the batter, swirling the pan to help it spread.
Step 3
When the pancake starts pulling away a bit from the sides, and the top is no longer wet, flip it and cook shortly on the other side as well. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Cook the remaining batter until all used up. Serve warm, with the filling of your choice.

Substitutions
flour (a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)) → a gluten-free blend (not plain rice flour alone for bread)
Coatings and roux can swap. Yeast breads need a blend designed for gluten-free baking.
egg (silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)) → silken tofu or skip (depends on the dish)
Carbonara without egg is not carbonara. Fried rice can skip the egg. We will not pretend otherwise.
butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
