In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. If using a non-caloric sweetener, add it to the dry ingredients at this stage.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Once the batter is smooth, slowly incorporate the club soda, stirring gently. The club soda will help make the palacsinta light and airy.
Melt a tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet and tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter evenly across the bottom.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is lightly golden brown.
Carefully flip the palacsinta using a spatula, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is also golden.
Transfer the cooked palacsinta to a plate, and cover with a towel to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all palacsinta are cooked, fill them with your choice of sugar-free fillings such as fresh fruit, sugar-free jam, or sweetened cottage cheese. Roll up the filled palacsinta and serve warm.
