Czech Palačinky Recipes

CZECH REPUBLIC PALAčINKY

Steps:

• Mix flour and salt together
• Mix the whisked eggs, sugar and milk together.
• Slowly add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, mix until very smooth
• Lightly grease a non-stick pan and wait until the oil gets hot. You can also use a cooking spray.
• Pour a thin layer of batter into the pan using a ladle
• When the one side is done, approx. 2 minutes, you need to flip it. You can use a spatula if you find that helpful.
• Once the second side is cooked, this just takes a minute or two, slide it out of the pan onto a plate.
• Spread the jam all over the pancake
• Roll it up
• Top with fresh fruit and whipped cream
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
• Serve Immediately...... you may want to double the batter they are really good!
• Note: If you are going to make a savory version, you should eliminate the sugar in the batter recipe and roll them with some wilted spinach, maybe some roasted garlic and cheese, bacon etc. Like I said the possibilities are endless. Enjoy!

CZECH PALAčINKY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, add the melted butter, salt, and gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth semi-liquid batter without lumps is created.
• Set aside and leave the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Brush a non-stick pan with the oil. You don't need a large amount; just a little is enough.
• Place the pan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat sufficiently.
• Remove the pan from the stove. Pour in some of the rested batter with a ladle. Let it spread evenly over the entire surface of the pan with a circular motion of the hand. Put the pan back on the stove.
• Once the palačinka is firm and can be moved while you shake the pan, flip the palačinka carefully.
• Fry the Czech crepe on the second side until slightly golden. It takes less time than to fry the first side - one minute, and you're done.
