CZECH PALAčINKY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, add the melted butter, salt, and gradually whisk in the flour until a smooth semi-liquid batter without lumps is created.
• Set aside and leave the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes.
• Brush a non-stick pan with the oil. You don't need a large amount; just a little is enough.
• Place the pan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the pan to heat sufficiently.
• Remove the pan from the stove. Pour in some of the rested batter with a ladle. Let it spread evenly over the entire surface of the pan with a circular motion of the hand. Put the pan back on the stove.
• Once the palačinka is firm and can be moved while you shake the pan, flip the palačinka carefully.
• Fry the Czech crepe on the second side until slightly golden. It takes less time than to fry the first side - one minute, and you're done.

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.

SERBIAN PALACINKE

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.
