Half a cup of water.
1 teaspoon of sugar.

2 tablespoons of brandy or rum.
1 cup all-purpose flour.
Butter for frying.

Confectioners’ sugar.
The Cooking
Combine the egg yolks with the milk, water, sugar, salt, and brandy in a bowl. Stir in the flour and mix well. Beat the egg whites until stiff and fold them into the mixture. Melt a little butter in a 7 or 8-inch skillet and add 3 tablespoons of the batter. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Cook over medium heat until the underside is golden. Turn over with a spatula and cook on the other side. Slip onto a warm plate and keep warm in a preheated 250 Ferehehts oven. Continue to cook the other pancakes.
Spread each with a thin layer of jelly and fold into quarters. Serve at once sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar.
