Thanks for the wonderful recipe! One trick to make the palacsinta lighter is to substitute 1/2 of the milk with soda water (i.e. 1 and 1/2 cup milk; 1 and 1/2 cup soda water).

I read somewhere that palacsinta can be made with sweet wine added to the batter. Its that true?

I love Palacsinta that my husband’s grandmother used to make. She made them with a cottage cheese filling and they were just wonderful. When she passed away, no one thought to ask her for the filling recipe and so many other hungarian recipes. Do you have the recipe for the cottage cheese filling?

I had the hortobágyi meat (ground veal) crepe at the Hungarian Rapsody Resturant in Southfield, Michigan and it was great. The recipe is on page 200 of George Lang’s Cusine of Hungary. On the palacsinta my mother made it with prune butter. Have also had it with apricot jam, cheese, and chocolate.

Thanks for your comment. Yes, you can use any filling in palacsinta. Unfortunately, I’ve never tired hortobágyi meat crepe. Although, I’ve heard that meat is used in many recipes.

I will be travelling to Hungary and throughout Europe this year and I will most certainly sample everything I can.

If you have a recipe for hortobágyi meat crepe I would be happy to feature on the blog.

Glad to hear your enjoying the postings! Thanks again.

You can use almost everything for filling: poppy seed, nut, cottage cheese (that’s my favourite), even nutella
Where I’m from, we always use cottage cheese, coca and apricot jam.
Have your tried the Hortobágyi Meat Crepe? That’s traditional.

Ohh, and I love your blog. XD
