Crepes | Palačinke

Unlike American pancakes that are small and quite thick, a Croatian pancake is a thin crepe-style pancake that is usually served wrapped around itself. Once cooked, and hot off the stack, the crepe can be spread with jam, Nutella or sprinkled with sugar, then wrapped in on itself and eaten.

Some of the pancake recipes that I've found contain soda water, but my mum always made them like this and so here's the recipe that she uses. I added in the lemon zest just to give some some extra zing, but feel free to take this out.

They can also be stuffed with a filling, usually cream cheese, but in our next recipe I will share a cousin's recipe from Moslavina with savoury stuffing.

This recipe makes about 20 pancakes. You can double or triple it if you wish.

Let me know if you tried these wonderful, easy crepes and what you thought?

Dobar Tek! Zivjeli! (Bon Appetit! Cheers and let's live!)
