Hungarian pancakes – Palacsinta:

Ah, yes — Palacsinta! 🇭🇺
These are Hungary’s beloved pancakes — very thin, more like French crêpes than American pancakes. They can be sweet or savory, rolled or folded, and filled with everything from jam to sweetened cottage cheese, nuts, chocolate, or even meats and veggies for savory versions.
