Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet variation)
- for cooking olive oil spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt. Mix well to ensure the flours are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs together with the heavy cream and water until well combined.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and allow it to cool slightly.
Gradually add the melted butter into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to incorporate.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If making a sweet version of Palacsinta, add vanilla extract at this stage.
Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan with olive oil spray or a small amount of butter and place over medium heat.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, tilting the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly to a thin round layer.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown and set. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the cooked Palacsinta to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your choice of filling. For a sweet Palacsinta, consider fillings like sweetened cream cheese, berries, or sugar-free jam. For a savory option, use fillings such as spinach and feta or cream cheese and smoked salmon.
