Thin, delicate Hungarian-style crepes that are softer and thinner than American pancakes — perfect for rolling with sweet or savory fillings ❤️
🥞 Ingredients (8–10 pancakes)
1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 ¼ cups (300 ml) milk
¼ cup (60 ml) sparkling water (optional – makes them lighter!)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp sugar (for sweet version)
1 tbsp oil or melted butter
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the batter Whisk eggs, milk, sparkling water, salt, sugar, and oil. Gradually whisk in flour until smooth and thin. Let rest 10–15 minutes.
2️⃣ Cook Heat a lightly oiled non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup batter and swirl to coat the pan thinly. Cook 1–2 minutes until lightly golden, flip, cook 30 seconds more.
3️⃣ Fill & Roll Spread filling over the pancake and roll tightly.
🍓 Popular Fillings
