Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, and salt until the batter is smooth and well-combined. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with melted butter.
3. Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom in a thin layer.
4. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges of the pancake start to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
5. Gently flip the Nalesniki and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until lightly browned.
6. Transfer the cooked Nalesniki to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter as necessary.
7. Once all pancakes are cooked, fill each Nalesniki with your desired filling. Sweetened cottage cheese mixed with vanilla and sugar is a popular choice for a sweet version, while sautéed mushrooms with onions can create a delicious savory option.
8. Roll up the filled Nalesniki and place them on a serving platter.
9. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving and enjoy warm.
