Pro Tips for the Best Hungarian Palacsinta 💡
✅ Use sparkling water – This makes the batter light and fluffy. ✅ Rest the batter – Letting it sit enhances texture and prevents tearing. ✅ Adjust sweetness – Omit sugar for savory versions or add a touch more for desserts. ✅ Thin, even batter – Swirl the pan to spread the batter evenly. ✅ Non-stick pan is key – Ensures easy flipping without sticking. ✅ Experiment with fillings – Sweet or savory, the options are endless!
Storage & Reheating 🥡
🥶 Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. 🔥 Reheat: Warm in a skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15-20 seconds. ❄️ Freeze: Stack with parchment paper between each pancake and freeze for up to 2 months.
(Pro Tip: Freeze extra pancakes and reheat when cravings strike!)
