Palacsinta Hungarian Pancakes Recipe🇭🇺

🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the batter

  1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs with sugar, salt, and milk.
  2. Gradually add flour, whisking until smooth.
  3. Stir in sparkling water and melted butter.
  4. The batter should be thin and silky — like heavy cream. Let it rest 20–30 minutes.

2️⃣ Cook the pancakes

  1. Heat a lightly greased nonstick pan over medium heat.
  2. Pour in a small ladle of batter, swirling the pan to coat evenly.
  3. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden spots appear.
  4. Stack cooked pancakes on a plate and cover to keep warm.

3️⃣ Fill & roll

Fill each palacsinta with your favorite filling:

  • Apricot or plum jam (classic Hungarian choice 🍑)
  • Sweetened cottage cheese (mix with sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest)
  • Nutella, ground walnuts, or cocoa sugar for dessert versions

Roll them up or fold into triangles — and dust with powdered sugar before serving! ✨


💡 Ashley’s Tips

  • For savory versions, skip the sugar and fill with spinach, mushrooms, or meat.
  • Add a splash of rum or vanilla to the batter for an irresistible aroma.
  • Serve with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a dollop of sour cream for a traditional finish.
