Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, water, eggs, vegetable oil, salt, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate and to relax the gluten.
Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly brush with a small amount of butter.
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting and rotating the pan quickly to spread the batter evenly over the surface.
Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the edges are golden and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the palacsinta using a spatula and cook the other side for about a minute until golden.
Transfer the cooked palacsinta to a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with butter as needed.
Serve warm with your choice of fillings such as jam, sweetened cottage cheese, Nutella, or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar and roll them up. Enjoy!
