Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and water.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to combine until smooth.

Step 4

Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the batter and mix well until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of unsalted butter.

Step 7

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet, tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the bottom.

Step 8

Cook for about 2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and small bubbles form in the center.

Step 9

Carefully flip the palacsinta using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until lightly golden.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked palacsinta to a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

Step 12

Serve the palacsinta warm with your favorite low sodium fillings or toppings, such as fresh fruits or a light sprinkle of powdered sugar.
