Slovak Pancakes

What is needed:

Non-stick griddle or large non-stick skillet or cast iron skillet

Spatula

Measuring cup for dry ingredients

Measuring cup for liquid ingredients

Measuring spoons

Large Bowl

Hand mixer

Large plate

Serving platter

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

2 large eggs

1/2 cup whole milk

1 jar grape jelly

Place non-stick skillet over medium high heat.

In large bowl, add flour, sugar, eggs, milk and beat on medium low with hand mixer until blended and smooth.

Check to be sure your skillet is hot by sprinkling on a few drops of water.  If the water skips quickly across the surface and evaporates, the skillet is ready.

With 1/3 cup measuring cup or ladle, pour pancake mixture into the center of the heated skillet. Let pancake mixture spread out on it's own into a circle. Cook until under side of pancake is slightly golden brown. You can check this by using your spatula to gently pick up the edge of the pancake and peak under for doneness. When the pancake is slightly golden brown, flip with your spatula and cook the same on the other side.

Remove cooked pancake to a plate. Spread about 1 rounded Tablespoon of grape jelly over the surface of the pancake. Roll up jelly roll style. Place on serving platter.

Cook remaining pancakes, add jelly, roll, and place on serving platter.

Serving suggestions:

Helpful hints:

If you do not have a non-stick skillet, use vegetable cooking spray to lightly coat the skillet before cooking each pancake.

The batter should be smooth and thin. Add 1 teaspoon of extra milk if neccesary and stir to get the right consistency. Add 1 teaspoon at a time.
