🥞 Hungarian Crepes (Palacsinta)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for frying)

Filling Options:

  • Jam (apricot, strawberry, or raspberry)
  • Sweetened cottage cheese or ricotta
  • Nutella or chocolate spread

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, and salt.
    • Add eggs and milk gradually, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
    • Stir in melted butter and let batter rest 20–30 minutes.
  2. Cook Crepes:
    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
    • Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to coat evenly.
    • Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook 1 more minute.
    • Remove and place on a plate; repeat with remaining batter.
  3. Fill & Serve:
    • Spread your choice of filling on each crepe.
    • Roll or fold into rectangles/triangles.
    • Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle chocolate on top.
