Steps:
- Combine the flour and eggs and mix until smooth. Add the milk, soda water, vegetable oil, and salt and mix to combine; refrigerate the batter overnight.
- To make the pancakes, heat a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat. Remove the batter from the refrigerator and mix well. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan and cook the pancake for about one minute. Flip it over and cook for another minute, or until golden brown. Remove the pancake from the pan and place it on waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes while keeping them separate with waxed paper.
- To make the filling, combine the chopped almonds, 1/2 cup sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and rum (if desired) in a saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is creamy. Allow it to cool slightly before filling the pancakes.
- For the chocolate topping, combine the water, 1/2 cup sugar, and chocolate in a saucepan and cook over low heat just until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and add the margarine, stirring until melted and combined.
- Spread 1 heaping tablespoon of almond filling onto each pancake, rolling them up and placing them on a platter. (You will have 10 to 15 total, depending on their size.) Pour the chocolate topping over the platter of rolled pancakes. If desired, warm the platter in a microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.

Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and salt. Whisk in the flour 1/4 cup at a time until the mixture is free of lumps and thoroughly combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the batter to thicken.
- While the batter chills, make the filling and the raspberry sauce. For the filling, combine the cottage cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- To prepare the sauce, place the raspberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Whisk the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until well blended, then add to the raspberry mixture. Return to a simmer and continue cooking until the mixture thickens to a syrup-like consistency (do not overcook). Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool.
- To make the palacsinta, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to a 10-inch nonstick pan and rub it over the bottom and sides with a paper towel. Heat the pan over medium heat and add 1/4 cup of the batter to the center of the pan. Working quickly, lift the pan from the heat, tilting and rotating until the batter coats it completely in a thin layer.
- As soon as the crêpe appears set and "dry" (20 to 30 seconds), flip it over and cook until barely browned, 10 to 15 seconds longer. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Stack the cooked palacsinta (crepes) on a plate. You should end up with about 1 dozen.
- To serve, place one crêpe on a flat surface and spread about 2-1/2 tablespoons of the filling on one side, about 1 inch in from the edges. Gently roll the crêpe to form a tube, making sure the filling is evenly distributed. Place seam side down on a serving plate and top with raspberry sauce.

- Pour a ladle of the batter into the pan and gently tip and twist the pan so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. When the top of the batter bubbles, turn the pancake over and cook for 4 or 5 seconds longer. Remove the pancake. Continue until the batter is all cooked; add butter before cooking each pancake.
- Serve by spreading raspberry jam, cocoa mix, or your favorite filling and roll up the pancake, serve with fresh berries.

HUNGARIAN GALA PALACSINTA CAKE
Triple Rakott Palacsinta (treep-lah rah-kot pah-lah-chin-ta) The following recipe will make at least 20 palacsinta 6 1/2 inches in diameter. The batter will keep for three days in the refrigerator; after that it is like to sour. Always shake it or stir well before using it, and add the soda water at the last minute. Taste the first palacsinta: if it is too thick, add more soda water to the batter; it may also need a pinch more salt. The second palacsinta will also have to be discarded, since it will get soggy lying on the bottom of the pile. It is best to make palacsinta in a special palacsinta or French crepe pan, which is easy to handle because it is the right size and shape. Once you have the knack, though, it goes fast, and eventually you should be able to work with two pans simultaneously.

Steps:
- FOR THE BATTER: Mix the flour and salt and one tablespoon sugar together in a big bowl.
- Work in the eggs, one at a time, then very gradually add the milk, beating well as you go along.
- Beat in the melted butter and strain the batter to remove any large lumps.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Just before using, shake or stir the batter and pour in as much soda water as needed to make a thin batter, the consistency of light cream.
- Make each palacsinta separately: heat a 6 1/2 inch crepe pan or a small frying pan with sloping sides until very hot, then brush with cooking oil.
- When it starts to smoke, remove from the heat and pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan (work with a ladle the right size, if possible).
- Quickly turn the pan around so the batter flows to the sides, thinly coating the entire bottom.
- A palacsinta is supposed to be very thin, as thin as it can be without getting lacy.
- Pour any excess batter back into the bowl.
- Put the pan back on the heat for about a minute, then give it a couple of good jerks to loosen the palacsinta, then flip it if you can or turn it over by hand, using a spatula to lift it up out of the pan first.
- Cook briefly on the second side and slide it into a warm dish or pie plate.
- Continue making palacsinta until you have at least three per person.
- Keep the palacsinta warm on the back of the stove or in the warming oven, or make them several hours in advance and warm them up later.
- The palacsinta batter may also be made in a blender: put the milk, eggs, salt, flour and melted butter in the jar, in that order.
- Blend at top speed for about 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the jar and blend another few seconds.
- Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight; just before making the palacsinta, shake or stir the batter and ADD the SODA water.
- Make the palacsinta and set them aside while preparing the fillings in separate dishes.
- Filling 1: Mix the grated chocolate with the chopped walnuts and confectioners sugar.
- Set it aside.
- Filling 2: Thin the jam with brandy or water, and mash up any large pieces of fruit.
- Put that to one side.
- Filling 3: Strain the pot cheese and force it through a potato ricer.
- Mix it well with the egg yolk, confectioners sugar, and lemon rind, and stir in the raisins.
- Beat the egg white until stiff, then fold it into the pot cheese mixture.
- To form the rakott palacsinta, lightly butter an 8-inch springform pan and place a palacsinta on the bottom.
- Spread it with some nut and chocolate filling (number 1), and cover with a second palacsinta.
- Spread that with a thin layer of apricot jam (number 2), and cover it with another palacsinta.
- Spread it with the pot cheese filling (number 3), and cover with a fourth palacsinta.
- REPEAT and continue the layering process until you reach the top of the pan; end with a palacsinta.
- Three quarters of an hour before serving, preheat the oven to 300 F.
- and beat the egg whites with the sugar until stiff and shiny.
- Pile the meringue on the top palacsinta and place the pan in the oven to bake for 30 minutes or more, or until the meringue is lightly browned (pink).
- Remove the sides of the pan and transfer the rakott palacsinta to a platter.
- Serve hot, cut in wedges like a cake.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with 1/2 cup of the milk and the salt. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then whisk in the remaining milk and the butter; the batter should have the consistency of cream. Let the batter rest for 1 hour.
- Heat a 7-inch crêpe pan and brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and rotate it immediately to coat the bottom evenly; pour any excess batter back into the bowl. Cook the crêpe over moderate heat until lightly browned on the bottom, about 30 seconds. Flip the crêpe and cook the second side until brown dots appear, about 10 seconds longer. Transfer to a large plate. Repeat with the melted butter and remaining batter to make 18 crêpes.

- Preheat the oven to 400°. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread each crêpe with 1 teaspoon of jam and 1 tablespoon of walnuts. Fold it into quarters and transfer to the baking dish.
