These delicate crêpes are sure to capture the hearts of children with their incredible versatility. Fill them with indulgent treats like warm chocolate, jam, truffle honey, fruit, or whipped cream, and finish off with a dusting of powdered sugar. To add to the festive spirit, consider creating a fixins bar where kids and their friends can unleash their creativity and customize their own crêpes, even if it gets a little messy. For a more grown-up twist, infuse the whipped cream with Grand Marnier or add a touch of dark rum to the warm chocolate. The possibilities are endless, ensuring a delightful culinary adventure for all. Here is how to prepare the perfect Palacinke.
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 lb unsalted butter, melted
Directions
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, combine sugar, salt, and flour, and mix thoroughly. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until the batter becomes smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat an 8-inch crêpe or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Coat the pan lightly with melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and tilt it to spread the batter evenly. Cook for approximately 50 seconds until the crêpe turns a light golden color, then flip it. Cook for an additional 30 seconds, transfer to a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the crêpes with your preferred filling options, such as jam, chocolate, or whipped cream.
