ðŸ‡ðŸ‡º Palacsinta – Traditional Hungarian Crepes
Just like Grandma made them! Light, thin, and ready to roll with your favorite fillings.
Palacsinta is one of Hungary’s most iconic and versatile desserts. These delicate crepes are a staple in Hungarian kitchens — often filled with sweet cottage cheese, fruit preserves, Nutella, or even savory fillings like ham and cheese. Whether you’re making them for breakfast, dessert, or a snack, they never fail to bring joy to the table.
If you grew up with a Hungarian grandma (or wished you had!), the smell of warm crepes browning in butter probably takes you straight back to childhood. 🥰
