Palacsinta Hungarian Pancakes

Here’s a traditional Palacsinta (Hungarian Pancakes) recipe 🥞
They’re thin, soft, and crepe-like, perfect for sweet or savory fillings.

Ingredients (makes about 10–12)

Instructions

1. Make batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, milk, eggs, sugar (if using), oil/butter, and salt until smooth and thin (similar to crepe batter).

2. Heat pan: Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan over medium heat.

3. Cook: Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan, swirling to coat thinly.

4. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges lift, then flip and cook 30–45 seconds.

5. Repeat with remaining batter.
