Instructions
Palacsintas:
In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, salt, and club soda. The batter will be thin and bubbly.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup whole milk, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ cup club soda
Place a large saute pan over low-medium heat and add a small amount of butter. Let the butter melt and then pour in 1/4 -cup of the cake batter.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Spread the batter evenly in the pan to create a thin pancake or crepe. Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Repeat the cooking process over and over until all the batter has been used. You should have 6-8 cakes depending on size.
Plum Filling:
Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in the diced plums, sugar, water, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
1 pound plums, 3 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water, 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, ½ teaspoon lemon zest
Stir the ingredients and let them cook down for 7-10 minutes.
Once they’re soft, use a potato masher to mash the filling together. Set aside.
Sour Cream Sauce: (optional)
In a small bowl combine the sour cream, milk, and sugar. Use a whisk to whip the ingredients into a smooth sauce. Set aside.
¼ cup whole milk, ⅓ cup sour cream, ¼ cup powdered sugar
Assembly and Serve:
Place one cake on a plate and spread about 2-tablespoons of the plum filling on the pancake.
Starting on one side, roll the pancake up. Repeat the process until all the cakes have been filled.
Drizzle the pancakes with the sour cream sauce and serve warm.
