Palacinka Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Batter: Beat eggs and sugar together, add salt.
• 2. Add 1 cup of flour alternating with milk until you use all, then add butter mixing well..
• 3. Using a dipper, fry each Palachinka in a hot 7-8" skillet. Tilt the skillet covering the bottom until batter is evenly distributed. I get appx. 20 Palachinkas with this recipe. Fry till just dry on the top and turn over and fry for another 30 seconds. Stack them on a plate.
• 4. When all done frying them, put 2 heaping tablespoons of filling on each, roll up and put side by side in a 9x13" pan.
• 5. Filling: Mix cottage cheese with cup sugar, add 2 beaten eggs, dash salt, melted butter and vanilla. I stir well with a fork.
• 6. Place 2 heaping tablespoons of filling onto each palachinka and roll up, place side by side in a 9x13" pan. Spread with sour cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes. When done you can serve with fruit, applesauce or eat them just as is.
• 7. Note: you can make the palachinkas and fill with cream cheese whipped with powder sugar to taste, then put pie filling or homemade fruit sauce on top.

Steps:

• Beat milk, eggs, flour, sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until the batter is thin and without lumps.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and grease with 1 tablespoon canola oil. Ladle enough batter into the skillet to cover the cooking surface in a thin layer. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a large turner and cook until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes more.
• Remove cooked palacinky to a plate and roll into a log.

Steps:

• To make the palacinke batter, whisk together the eggs, 2 cups water, the rum, vanilla, sugar, and salt in a large bowl, until well blended. Sift the flour on top, a bit at a time, whisking each addition in until smooth. Drizzle in 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, whisking until the batter has slightly thickened, with the consistency of melted ice cream. Finally, whisk in the lemon zest. Put the remaining 4 tablespoons of melted butter in a small cup and keep it warm.
• Break or chop the chocolate into small pieces, and put them in a bowl set in a pan of hot (not boiling) water. When the chocolate begins to melt, stir until completely smooth, and keep it warm, in the water, off the heat.
• Set the crêpe pan or skillet over medium-high heat until quite hot. Pour in a couple tablespoons of the reserved melted butter, quickly swirl it all over the pan bottom, then pour excess butter back into the cup, leaving the bottom lightly coated with sizzling butter. (If the butter doesn't sizzle, heat the pan longer before adding the batter.) Immediately ladle in a scant 1/3 cup of batter, tilt and swirl so it coats the bottom, and set the pan on the burner.
• Lower the heat to medium, and cook the palacinka for a little less than a minute, until the underside is lightly browned in a lacy pattern. Flip it over with a spatula, and fry for ½ minute or longer, until the second side is lightly browned, then remove it to a warm platter. Heat the empty pan briefly, then rapidly coat it with butter, fill it with batter, and cook another palacinka. Repeat the sequence, stacking up the finished palacinke on the platter, until all the batter is used up.
• Fill and serve the palacinke as soon as possible, while fresh and warm. Keep the platter in a warm spot, and cover the stack with a tent of foil or a large bowl turned upside down. Whip the heavy cream, unsweetened or with sugar to taste, to soft peaks. Stir the melted chocolate, and reheat it if necessary so it is smooth and warm.
• Take one palacinka off the stack, and place it with its lacy patterned side down. Spoon a generous tablespoon (or more) warm chocolate in the center of the pancake, and spread it over the palacinka, leaving an inch-wide border uncoated. Scatter a spoonful of chopped walnuts on the chocolate layer, then fold the round in half, hiding the fillings, and fold again into a plump quarter-round.
• Fill and fold all the palacinke the same way. For each serving, place two quarter-rounds, overlapping, on a dessert plate, heap some cream on top, scatter some nuts on top of the cream, and drizzle warm chocolate in streaks and squiggles over the palacinke and the plate.

Steps:

• Mix the oil, flour, salt, and egg in a bowl.
• Add the milk. Adjust the amount of milk as needed to achieve a thin, runny texture.
• Beat very thoroughly until completely smooth. (You might even want to use a blender to achieve the proper consistency).
• Pour a small amount of the mixture into a hot, greased skillet and cook like a pancake.
• (This recipe makes quite a lot, honestly, but the extra mixture can be kept for several days in the fridge. If you do choose to do this, you might need to add a little water or milk to thin the mixture out again before cooking.).

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
• Mix milk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until well combined. Fold in egg whites with a spatula.
• Heat a small piece of butter in a skillet and pour a small amount of batter into the skillet. Turn skillet so batter covers the bottom of the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancake over and cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, always melting a new small piece of butter in the skillet first.

Steps:

• First you will make the filling.
• Mix 2 48 oz. (large) small curd cottage cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1 8 oz. Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and 8 egg yolks together to make the filling.
• Next you will make the batter.
• Beat 5 eggs until frothy.
• Add in 1 quart milk (slowly).
• Pour in 1 cup sugar.
• Add 2 3/4 cups flour.
• Grease 9-inch frying pan with butter.
• Pour 1/2 cup batter into heated 9-inch frying pan and make a thin pancake (Crépe). This will cook quickly.
• Next you will construct the crépes and fill them.
• Fill crépes with the filling carefully. You don't want too little filling and you don't want too much. I suggest anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 cups filling.
• Roll the crépe carefully so as not to spill any filling.
• Place crépes in glass pan for cooking.
• Now add topping.
• Combine 16 oz. sour cream, 1 cup sugar, 4 egg whites, and 1 egg.
• Mix and pour over rolled crépes.
• Finally you will cook and chill.
• Cook for 1 hour at 350°F.
• Once done, chill for about 1 hour or until cold. If it happens to be winter, it works well to wrap the pan in foil and put on a table.
