🥞 Hungarian Crepes (Palacsinta)

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  2. Gradually add flour, sugar, and salt, whisking until smooth.
  3. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes (optional but helps with texture).

2. Cook the Crepes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter or oil.
  2. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and tilt to spread evenly into a thin layer.
  3. Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden.
  4. Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
  5. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter/oil as needed.

3. Fill and Serve

  • Spread your desired filling onto each crepe, fold into triangles or roll up.
  • Dust sweet versions with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate.
  • Serve warm.

💡 Tip: For ultra-thin crepes, you can add a little extra milk to the batter. Palacsinta can also be baked after filling with sweet cheese or jam and topped with a simple glaze.

If you want, I can give you a version with Hungarian-style sweet cottage cheese filling that is traditional and irresistible.
