Hello A little Viennese crepe Here’s the recipe in English for a classic Bécsi palacsinta, or Viennese crepes:
Viennese Crepes (Bécsi Palacsinta) Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweet crepes)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for sweet crepes)
- Butter or oil, for frying
Filling Suggestions (Optional)
- Jam or fruit preserves
- Nutella or chocolate spread
- Sweetened cottage cheese or ricotta with raisins
- Whipped cream and fresh fruit
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, sugar (if using), salt, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. The batter should be thin and pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk.
- Rest the Batter:
- Let the batter rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps the flour fully absorb the liquid and results in smoother crepes.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with a small amount of butter or oil.
- Cook the Crepes:
- Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, just enough to thinly coat the bottom. Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the crepe and cook for another 1 minute on the other side.
- Repeat:
- Continue cooking the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
- Fill and Serve:
- Spread your desired filling over the crepe, then roll it up or fold it into quarters. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with a sauce, if desired.
Enjoy your delicious Viennese crepes!
