Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 500 milliliters Milk
• 3 large Eggs
• 50 grams Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Oil (for cooking)
• 1 variety Optional fillings

Directions

Step 1

Melt 50 grams of butter in a small saucepan or microwave and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.

Step 3

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add milk and vanilla extract, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Stir in the melted butter until the batter is smooth and slightly runny. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with a small amount of oil.

Step 7

Pour a small ladleful of batter into the pan, tilting it to cover the bottom with a thin layer.

Step 8

Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the underside is golden brown.

Step 9

Flip the palacinka using a spatula and cook for another 1 minute on the other side.

Step 10

Remove from the pan and place on a warm plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 11

Fill each palacinka with your desired filling such as jam, Nutella, fresh fruits, or sweetened cheese before folding or rolling them.

Step 12

Serve the palacinky warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with syrup if desired.
