Egg-Free Polish Naleśniki (Crepes)

Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Applesauce
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Melted butter or oil
• 4 tablespoons Fruit preserves

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, add the 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of applesauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk these ingredients together until the batter is completely smooth, with no lumps of flour visible.
2. 2Place a 10-inch non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for 2-3 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil to the hot skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
3. 3Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot, buttered skillet for each naleśnik. Immediately tilt and swirl the skillet to spread the batter into a thin, even circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter.
4. 4Cook the naleśnik for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, until the edges start to look dry and the underside is a light golden brown. Carefully flip the naleśnik using a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes on the second side, until it is also golden brown.
5. 5Remove the cooked naleśnik from the skillet and place it on a plate. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining batter, adding another 1/2 teaspoon of the 2 tablespoons of melted butter or oil to the skillet before each new naleśnik, until all the batter is used.
6. 6Spread about 1 tablespoon of the 4 tablespoons of fruit preserves evenly over one half of each naleśnik. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape. Serve immediately.
