NOTES

Optionally you can brush frying pan with a little bit of oil to prevent sticking or replace ½ cup of milk with oil, I used grapeseed oil (it will prevent pancakes from sticking  when your frying pan is not so new).

“Krokiety” means in Polish: filled pancakes / crepes and they are usually folded the way shown on the picture.

Your thoughts…
