Sweet Cottage Cheese Crêpes (Hungarian Palacsinta)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The uncrowned queen of Sunday lunches. The secret to the perfect crêpe lies in resting and temperature: flour granules need time to swell, and the pan needs to be hot for the characteristic pattern. The creaminess of the curd cheese filling and the freshness of the lemon zest make this dessert unputdownable.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Crêpe pan / Frying pan
  • Ladle
  • Hand whisk
  • Grater (for lemon zest)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Cereals containing gluten
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Eggs

Instructions

1 ✓

Whisk the eggs until frothy with the sugar and salt, add the milk, then gradually add the flour until lump-free.

Tip: If you mix a thick batter first and then dilute it, it won't be lumpy.
2 ✓

Pour in the soda water and oil. Let the batter rest for at least 20-30 minutes.

Tip: During resting, the gluten strands relax and the starch absorbs liquid, so the batter won't tear.
3 ✓

Meanwhile, prepare the filling: mash the curd cheese with a fork, mix with sour cream, vanilla sugar, grated lemon zest, and raisins.

Tip: The essential oils in lemon zest counteract any tart aftertaste of the curd cheese.
4 ✓

Heat the pan. Grease lightly with oil (important mainly for the first one), and fry thin crêpes. Flip when the edges brown and lift from the pan.

Tip: The characteristic brown spots come from the reaction of sugar and proteins (Maillard reaction).
5 ✓

Fill the fried pancakes with the cream, roll them up, and serve dusted with icing sugar.

Tip: Serve warm, that's when the dough texture is best.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the crêpe tear?
Either the batter is too thin (add more flour), or there aren't enough eggs, or the pan is cold.
Why does it stick?
The pan wasn't hot enough, or there is too little oil in/under the batter.
