PALATSCHINKEN - AUSTRIAN CRÊPE
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
pinch salt
vanilla extract
[omit for savory fillings]
butter [or any flavorless oil]
_ whisk eggs [using a hand whisk] until lightly beaten
_ add salt, vanilla extract and half of the milk
_ stir until combined
_ add flour and whisk until you get a smooth batter
[make sure there are no lumps left]
_ gradually add remaining milk while whisking
[batter should be fairly liquid - add more milk if needed]
_ heat a small amount of butter [or oil] in a pan
[don’t go full on hot - whatever you use for simmering should be fine]
[if you have a non-stick pan you might not need any butter at all]
_ pour a little batter into the pan and swirl to spread evenly
[for an 8” pan I need about ⅓ cup]
_ cook until bottom side is golden in color [and the surface is not liquid anymore] and flip over
_ cook for another couple of seconds [the whole process probably doesn’t take longer than a minute]
_ transfer to a plate
_ proceed the same way with the remaining batter
[if the batter thickens over time add a little milk]
Palatschinken can be eaten sweet - filled with fruit, jam, quark or ice cream - or savory - filled with cheese or stir fried vegetables.
