Hungarian Cottage Cheese Palacsinta (Túrós Palacsinta)

Ingredients

For the crepes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for slightly sweet crepes)
  • Butter or oil for frying

For the filling:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (túró if available)
  • 2–3 tbsp sugar (to taste)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: lemon zest or raisins

For topping:

  • Powdered sugar or sour cream

Instructions

  1. Make the crepe batter:
    • In a bowl, whisk together flour, milk, eggs, salt, and sugar until smooth.
    • Let batter rest 15–20 minutes (optional but helps texture).
  2. Cook the crepes:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet and lightly grease with butter.
    • Pour a small ladle of batter, swirl to coat the pan thinly.
    • Cook 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden. Repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Prepare the filling:
    • Mix cottage cheese, sugar, vanilla, and optional lemon zest or raisins in a bowl until smooth.
  4. Fill and roll:
    • Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each crepe.
    • Fold sides over and roll up gently.
  5. Optional final touch:
    • Melt a little butter in a pan and lightly fry filled crepes for 1–2 minutes for extra flavor.
    • Dust with powdered sugar or serve with sour cream.

Tips

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier filling.
  • Can make ahead and refrigerate; just warm before serving.
  • Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack! 😋
