Directions

  1. Mix preserves, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon kirsch in small bowl.
  2. Combine first 7 ingredients, 1/4 cup sugar, and 3 tablespoons kirsch in blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Add flour and blend until smooth.
  4. Let batter stand 1 hour.
  5. Stir batter to blend. Lightly brush 7- to 8-inch-diameter nonstick skillet with oil; heat over medium heat. Using 3 tablespoons batter for each pancake, add batter to skillet and quickly tilt pan to coat bottom completely (pancake will be thin). Cook pancake until light golden on bottom, about 30 seconds. Turn pancake over and cook until bottom is pale golden, about 20 seconds.

  7. Butter 13x9x2-inch broilerproof baking dish.
  8. Place 1 pancake on work surface, pale side up.
  9. Spread scant 2 tablespoons filling over half of pancake. Fold other half of pancake over filling, then fold in half again, forming triangle. Repeat with 7 more pancakes and remaining filling. Arrange pancakes in prepared baking dish. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  10. Preheat broiler.
  11. Drizzle melted butter over pancakes; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Broil just until edges of pancakes are brown, about 2 minutes.
  12. Warm remaining 1/3 cup kirsch in small saucepan over low heat.
