Hungarian Pancakes (Palacsinta)

Hungarian Palacsinta are thin, delicate pancakes similar to French crêpes. They are one of Hungary’s favorite homemade treats and can be filled with apricot jam, sweet cottage cheese, ground walnuts, cinnamon sugar, or chocolate.

Unlike thick American pancakes, Palacsinta are light, flexible, and perfect for rolling or folding. 🇭🇺🥞
