"Racuchy" is a type of Polish pancake or fritter that is typically made with flour, eggs, milk, and sometimes yeast or baking powder. These pancakes are often flavored with sugar and vanilla and can be served with various toppings such as powdered sugar, jam, fruit compote, or sour cream. They are usually fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining soft and fluffy on the inside. Sometimes, grated apples or other fruits are added to the batter for extra flavor and moisture.
This is a no yeast version, for a yeast pancakes check out my Apple Racuchy Recipe.

3. Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat, and lightly grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
