Description
Classic Polish spring pancakes with strawberry jam — thin, flexible pancakes fried in a bit of rapeseed oil and served with aromatic jam and fresh strawberries. This dish comes from the tradition of simple breakfasts and works well as a quick second breakfast or dessert. The pancakes have a delicate, slightly browned surface and a soft center, while the sweet jam and tart fresh strawberries create a pleasant flavor contrast. Serve immediately after preparation, dusted with a bit of powdered sugar or with a dollop of sour cream for a richer texture.

Preparation steps
Batter
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork or whisk until smooth (about 30 seconds). If you are adding optional sugar, add it now and briefly whisk it with the eggs.
Pour half of the milk into the beaten eggs, mix, and then pour the mixture into the flour. Stir with a whisk from the inside out until the mixture becomes thick and lump-free. Add the remaining milk and 2/3 of the oil, mixing until you achieve a thin, pouring consistency similar to 12% cream (it should flow from the spoon in a steady stream).
Add a pinch of salt and mix again. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to swell — this will make the pancakes flexible and easier to fry.
Frying
Heat a non-stick skillet with a diameter of 24–26 cm over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of canola oil on a paper towel (about 1 teaspoon for the first greasing). When the skillet is hot (drop a drop of water — it should sizzle and evaporate quickly), pour a ladle of batter and swirl the skillet to spread it in a thin layer.
Fry the pancake for 1–1.5 minutes, until the edges start to lift slightly and the bottom is golden. Flip the pancake with a spatula and fry the other side for 30–45 seconds until golden. Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil or a plate to keep it flexible.
Assembly
On the fried pancake, place 1–2 tablespoons of strawberry jam in the center (spread it thinly, leaving a 1–2 cm edge). Fold the pancake in half, and then fold it in half again (or roll it up). Repeat with the remaining pancakes.
Serving
Arrange the pancakes on plates, decorate with a few slices of fresh strawberry, and optionally sprinkle with a bit of sugar or powdered sugar. Serve immediately while they are still warm — this way the jam is soft, and the pancakes taste best.
Fun Fact
In Poland, pancakes have a long tradition and come in both savory and sweet versions. In many homes, they are served for breakfast or as a quick lunch, and jam has been one of the most popular fillings for generations.

Tips
Serve the pancakes immediately, preferably while still warm. You can add a spoonful of sour cream to the jam for contrast. For a richer version, spread a thin layer of butter inside before adding the jam.
Pancakes are best eaten immediately. Stored in the fridge (in a container), they will stay fresh for 1–2 days. Reheat in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in a pan over low heat for 1–2 minutes on both sides. Store jam in an airtight jar in the fridge after opening.
