Hungarian crepes (Palacsinta)🇭🇺

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Stir in melted butter.
  3. Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes (optional, gives more tender crepes).

2. Cook the Crepes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  2. Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, tilting it to spread evenly into a thin layer.
  3. Cook for 1–2 minutes until edges lift and bottom is lightly golden.
  4. Flip and cook another 30–60 seconds.
  5. Remove and keep warm.

3. Fillings

Sweet Options:

  • Jam (apricot, plum, strawberry)
  • Nutella or chocolate spread
  • Sweetened cottage cheese or cream cheese

Savory Options:

  • Spinach and cheese
  • Minced meat
  • Mushrooms with sour cream

4. Serving

  • Fold or roll the crepes with your favorite filling.
  • Dust sweet crepes with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate.
  • Serve savory crepes warm, with sour cream or sauce.

Tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet for the best results.
  • Make batter a bit thinner than pancake batter for truly thin crepes.
  • Keep cooked crepes covered with a towel to prevent drying out.

If you want, I can also make a Hungarian Palacsinta Facebook post, a short video script, or a quick dessert-style version with condensed milk!

Do you want me to do that?
