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.
