Hungarian Palacsinta (Crepes)

Instructions

1. Make the Batter

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, water, sugar, salt, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Stir in the melted butter.
  3. Let the batter rest 20–30 minutes (optional for 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, tilting the pan to spread thinly.
  3. Cook 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. Fill & Serve

Sweet fillings: jam, Nutella, sweetened cottage cheese, or fruit.
Savory fillings: spinach & cheese, minced meat, or mushrooms with sour cream.

  • Fold, roll, or stack the crepes.
  • Serve warm.

Tips

  • Batter should be thinner than pancake batter.
  • Keep cooked crepes covered to prevent drying.
  • Non-stick pan gives the best result.
