Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 60 grams Whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 500 ml Milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 180 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
- 30 grams Butter or oil
- 0 as desired Sweet or savory filling of choice
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, milk, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour and whey protein powder to the bowl. Whisk thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. You can also use a hand mixer or blender for a more uniform consistency.
Step 3
Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps to slightly hydrate the flour and improve the texture of the palacinkas.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter or oil.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly, creating a thin layer.
Step 6
Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom turns golden brown.
Step 7
Carefully flip the palacinka using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the palacinka from the pan and keep warm under a clean kitchen towel or in a warm oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Fill the palacinkas with your choice of sweet or savory fillings. Popular options include cottage cheese, fruit preserves, Nutella, or sautéed vegetables and cheese.
Step 10
Roll or fold the filled palacinkas and serve warm.
