Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
-
2.In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
-
3.Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
-
4.In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining the cottage cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Mix well until smooth.
-
5.Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil.
-
6.Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, swirling it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1 minute, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate.
-
7.Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
-
8.Once all the crepes are cooked, spread a spoonful of the cottage cheese filling onto each crepe. Roll them up and place them on a serving platter.
-
9.Dust the Palacsinta with powdered sugar and serve warm.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cottage cheese — Make sure to use a smooth and creamy cottage cheese for the filling. If the cottage cheese has large curds, you can blend it in a food processor or blender for a smoother consistency.
Tips & Tricks
- To achieve thin and lacy crepes, make sure the batter is smooth and runny. If it's too thick, add a little more milk or water.
- Use a non-stick skillet or crepe pan for easy flipping and to prevent sticking.
- Serve the Palacsinta warm for the best taste and texture.
- You can customize the filling by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor.
- Leftover crepes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Serving advice
Serve the Palacsinta as a delightful breakfast or a sweet dessert. You can garnish it with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of indulgence.
Presentation advice
Arrange the rolled Palacsinta on a platter, dust them with powdered sugar, and garnish with a sprig of mint or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an elegant presentation.
