Make Delicious Palatschinken with Us - A Recipe You’ll Easily Repeat
Palatschinken resemble Polish pancakes but stand out with their lighter, thinner, and more flexible dough, making them perfect for wrapping various fillings. While they can be served in many ways, they taste best when filled with a creamy nut filling. To prepare them, you'll need just a few simple ingredients:
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour,
- 1 cup of milk,
- ½ cup of sparkling water,
- 2 eggs,
- A pinch of salt,
- 1 tablespoon of melted butter,
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla sugar,
- 200 g of ground walnuts,
- 100 g of smooth peanut butter,
- 3 tablespoons of honey,
- 100 ml of heavy cream (30%),
- A few drops of vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, milk, sparkling water, eggs, melted butter, sugar, and a pinch of salt. If you prefer a sweeter batter, you can add a tablespoon of sugar. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth and uniform. Let it rest for about 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to blend. Meanwhile, heat a pan and pour thin portions of the batter, spreading it evenly. Cook the pancakes on both sides until golden brown.
Now it’s time for the filling. In a saucepan, heat the cream with the peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Add the ground walnuts, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Cook on low heat, stirring until the filling thickens, then let it cool. Spread each pancake with the sweet filling and fold it into an envelope. Serve with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
How to Make a Great Inka Coffee? It Pairs Perfectly with Palatschinken
In the Czech Republic, sweet desserts are often accompanied by the grain coffee "Melta" and in Poland, you can easily replace it with aromatic Inka coffee. Start by dissolving 2 teaspoons of Inka coffee in hot water. Meanwhile, heat 100 ml of milk and froth it vigorously with a whisk to create a light, creamy foam. Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon to the brewed coffee for a mildly spiced flavor. After stirring well, pour in the frothed milk to create a smooth blend. Finally, garnish the drink with whipped cream and sprinkle with chocolate shavings.
