Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 240 ml Skim milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 large Egg whites
- 120 ml Carbonated water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Whisk together to ensure there are no lumps in the flour.
In another bowl, beat the egg and egg whites until lightly frothy. Add the skim milk, carbonated water, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth and lump-free batter. The carbonated water helps in making the Palacsinta light and airy.
Allow the batter to rest for 15 to 30 minutes. This will help the flour absorb the liquids and result in a better-textured pancake.
Preheat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Swirl the pan immediately to spread the batter into an even, thin layer.
Cook each side for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until golden.
Repeat with the remaining batter, applying cooking spray between each Palacsinta.
Serve warm with your choice of low-fat fillings, such as fresh fruits, a dollop of low-fat yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
