North Croatian Mushroom Pancakes Crepes Recipes

CROATIAN PALAčINKE CREPES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Mix in the club soda.
• Add the flour and salt and stir with a whisk until only a few lumps of flour remain.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. As the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients, the batter will smooth out.
• Once rested, stir the batter until smooth (though a few lumps are ok) to prepare for cooking the crepes .
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet. Add 1 of the teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the oil.
• Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, tilting and swirling so it covers most of the bottom of the pan.
• Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip over and brown the second side. Remove to a platter.
• Continue with the cooking process, adding the remaining butter and oil as necessary-probably every third crepe. Stack the cooked crepes to keep warm. Serve and enjoy.
