Here’s a classic recipe for Hungarian Crepes (Palacsinta)—thin, soft, and perfect for sweet or savory fillings:
Ingredients (Makes about 8–10 crepes)
For the batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
For filling (suggestions):
- Sweet: Jam, Nutella, cottage cheese with sugar, fruit, or chocolate
- Savory: Ham, cheese, mushrooms, or spinach
Instructions
- Make the Batter
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and melted butter.
- Gradually add flour, salt, and sugar (if using) until smooth and lump-free.
- Let the batter rest for 20–30 minutes at room temperature.
- Cook the Crepes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with butter.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan and swirl to cover the bottom thinly.
- Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift, then flip and cook another 1 minute.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
- Fill and Serve
- Fill each crepe with your desired filling and roll or fold.
- Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with sauce if desired.
✨ Tips:
- For extra tender crepes, you can substitute half the milk with sparkling water.
- Sweet fillings like cottage cheese with vanilla or poppy seeds are traditional in Hungary.
- Crepes can be made ahead and refrigerated for a few days, or frozen for longer storage.
