How to make Nalesniki, aka Crepes

1) Mix all the batter ingredients well in a blender and refrigerate for 1 hour.

2) For the filling, in a large bowl, put the cream cheese, sugar and the cherries. Combine well and reserve.

3) Spray a frying pan with cooking spray. Pour 120ml of batter into the pan and cook until firm (tan, not brown). Turn over and cook the other side. Transfer cooked crepes to a large plate and repeat with remaining batter.

4) Fill the crepes with the cheese and cherry filling and fold as desired. Arrange on a serving platter and serve hot, with whipped cream and chocolate powder.
