Palacsinta hungarian pancakes🇭🇺


👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Mix the Batter
    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk. Add flour gradually, whisking until smooth (no lumps!). Add salt, sugar, and vanilla if using.
    Let batter rest for 15–30 minutes — this makes it smoother and more elastic.
  2. Cook the Palacsinta
    Heat a nonstick skillet (8–10″) over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
    Pour about ¼ cup of batter and tilt the pan to spread it thinly.
    Cook for about 1–2 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
  3. Stack & Fill
    Stack cooked pancakes on a plate. Spread your filling and roll them up or fold into quarters.

🍓 Classic Fillings:

  • Apricot or plum jam
  • Sweet cottage cheese with vanilla and lemon zest
  • Cocoa powder + powdered sugar
  • Ground walnuts + sugar + milk splash
  • Nutella or chocolate spread
  • Cinnamon sugar

🇭🇺 Pro Tip:

Palacsinta are often served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a dollop of sour cream or whipped cream on the side.
