🇭🇺 Hungarian Pancakes (Palacsinta)

---

Instructions:

1. Make the batter:
   • In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk.
   • Gradually whisk in flour, salt, and sugar (if making sweet).
   • Add sparkling water and melted butter, mix until smooth. Batter should be thin and pourable (like crêpe batter).
   • Let rest for 20–30 minutes.
2. Cook the pancakes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan lightly greased with oil/butter.
   • Pour a ladle of batter, swirl to coat the pan in a thin layer.
   • Cook 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
   • Stack on a plate, cover to keep warm.
3. Fill & serve:
   • Spread with apricot jam, Nutella, cocoa sugar, ground walnuts, or sweet cottage cheese.
   • Roll up or fold into triangles.
   • For savory: fill with sautéed mushrooms, ham & cheese, or minced meat.
