John,

My Mom use to make them for us when we were kids - so good! But so tedious to stand and fry all of those pancakes.

I had my eye on an electric crepe maker (!) - no booing or hissing, please - thinking it would make the job of frying easier and perhaps more of the family could enjoy them if I was so inspired!

But thank you for sharing the recipe with us.

Our group in Poland had tiny little ones for lunch (desert?) in August, 2006 at a convent / girls school. Some were filled with pieces of spiced apples.

It looks like something I enjoyed a long, long time ago. I have to copy the recipe for future use. Thanks.

Thanks for the recipe also JJ. My mom use to make it for us also when we were younger. She orderd the farmers cheese from our dairy who were Polish also. They use to deliver milk right to us. Buttermilk, maslanka and everything else. Tolpas Dairy. I don't think they are around but I still remember the driver.


I just did a Google and they are still in the business but as wholesalers. They are in Utica, NY
