Did you ever try nalesniki? They are soo good and yummy. I like the most the ones with cheese and marmelade. Actually the cheese ones are my favorite - but you need for this really white farmers cheese. There is only one grocery store in Idaho Falls which sometimes provide this cheese! It is really simple - but you need right ingredients and it is very good for winter. Here is one of the recipes: www.mrbreakfast.com/display.asp?categoryid=3&subcategoryid=4&recipeid=1355 |

Jaga,
You know nalesniki was what started my personal search for polish roots. As a child when we were good my mom and my grandomother would make what in the family was called "nonny - slickies." Imagine my surprise when I saw nalesniki on the menu, tried one and a childhood memory unfolded.
When I got home I search for a recipie, asked my mom if it was anything like our childhood favorite "nonnies." Sure enough it was! Since then my mom has taken my recipie book and found many, many recipies she remembers her mom making for her.

Holly,
yes food is something which reminds you about your roots! My daugher Ela loves soups - since I give her soups since she was little - but when I try to give soup to my husband - he eats it only when very hungry, the same - other kids
soups are good for Idaho winter!

Yes, I am pleased to say we had these this summer "on the farm". I even have a picture of my cousin's daughter running the cheese through the crank grinder to produce the cheese filling, though I believe there were some other items added to the mix. I shall investigate that recipe as well. And they were wonderful, and I surprised the family when I flipped the browned pancake from side to side by "flipping it' in the air, using only the pan. I have lots of practice here, since Sunday morning pancakes are my tradition at home!  |

My mom made these long time ago. My favorite were the cheese filled but sometimes she just rolled up with jam.

Chris, you can do it, it is not very difficult - you just need to have a right cheese, or at least dry out a bit this cottage cheese which you can buy here (with curls), it is also good with some rasins added |

How great to know other people also enjoy / enjoyed this wonderfully simple dish  My mother use to make these...but called them French pancakes. We used Farmer's cheese or cottage cheese, some kind or another of jam / jelly, and then (not Polish) maple syrup! These were one of our standard meals on Fridays and during Lent. I tried these on my kids...there were not very fond of them. Husband does not like cheese. Maybe the granchildren would like them Never thought about raisins...which I love! |

My mother would use farmers cheese blended with egg and sugar as a filling. Pan fried them in butter and served. My wife has a better version. She would fill them with either the cheese filling or a fruit filling and then pour maple syrup over them. Mighty fine eating at breakfast. |

My mother used to make very thin pancakes, like crepes, then spread them with a cottage cheese mixture that was savory, not sweet like in pierogi. I think that it had cottage cheese and green onions or chives. She would roll them up, stack them in a casserole dish, and then pour a milky mixture over them, maybe a mixture of milk and eggs. Then she baked them. I don’t remember how they were served – whether they came out as individual crepes or as a scooped-out hot dish. Does anyone know the name of this dish or have the recipe for it? --GJM

GJM, Several months back someone asked the same question as yours...perhaps it was you At that time, I looked through the cookbooks that I had and came up with nothing. Perhaps someone esle might have some idea. If not, perhaps this is something your mother invented to make sure everyone, including herself, had hot pancakes to eat Sounds like a neat idea to me! GM |
