Croatian Crepes (Palacinke)
Looking for the perfect Croatian crepes (palacinke) recipe? Here you can find all the secrets for perfectly soft and thin crepes in one place!
Ingredients
- 4 eggs M size
- 500 ml sparkling water or tap water
- 800-900 ml milk
- 1 tablespoon rum
- 20 g vanilla sugar
- 4 g salt
- 40 g butter melted
- 450 g all-purpose flour sifted
- additional fat for baking crepes lard, ghee, sunflower oil...
Instructions
- Melt the butter and leave it aside to cool down a bit.
- Break eggs into a large bowl, then whisk them with sparkling water, milk, rum, vanilla sugar, and salt.
- Start adding the flour to the bowl with the wet ingredients. It is important to add the flour gradually to avoid the formation of lumps.
- Finally, add melted butter or oil, whisk well, and leave the batter to rest for 30 to 60 minutes on the kitchen counter.
- Heat up a crepe pan well. Thinly coat the surface of the pan with a kitchen brush dipped in grease or oil, then pour part of the mixture. Start pouring in the center of the pan, then quickly swirl the pan to let the rest of the mixture spread towards the edges.
- Bake each crepe on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes on one side and 30 to 45 seconds on the other side. When it's done, take it out on a plate and repeat the process until you use up all the batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite filling or spread. Dobar tek!
Notes
- I recommend baking the palacinke in 2 equal pans at the same time, to shorten the baking time. The baking time in the recipe card refers to baking crepes in 2 pans at the same time.
- Use a silicone kitchen brush to brush the crepe pan before baking each crepe. If you don't have one, you can also use clean, folded kitchen paper and coat the surface of the pan with the fat before baking the crepe.
