Palacinky (Slovak Crepes Suzettes)

Jane from Ohio's Note:

My mother would always make these for us on the weekends. I still make them and love them just as much. We always fill them with either jelly or jam. I made these once for a breakfast get together and also used flavored fruit syrup and whipped cream to go over the rolled palacinki.

I'm so excited to find this recipe, thank you so much! This was a huge favorite with my siblings, cousins, & I. We use to beg my grandmother to make this every time we stayed with her. We called it Palacinka & I have been searching in vein for a recipe. (My Serbian is very very poor/ non existent & didn't think I was spelling it correctly) My grandma filled it with jam just like this recipe with powdered sugar & whip cream on top or also with a cheese filling. I can't wait to make this again for my family & my husband who has heard all about my Palacinka memories!

I am so happy to find this recipe. My Mother passed away last year without leaving me this recipe (She never wrote it down). We had this every holiday during my childhood and when we visited as adults. Palacinky is a much loved item in our family. My brother even named his dog Cinky to remember the love my Mom put into this wonderful Slovak treat. I remembe all of us standing in line in the Kitchen cause you had to eat them hot. I loved just butter and sugar. I have tried other crepe recipes but none have been the real Palscinky! Great recipe and I would give you 10 stars if I could. You have made my siblings and I very happy

Yum. I loved these as a kid, and have made them in the past for my own two. My Austrian grandma would fill the "palacinka" with a cottage cream and sugar filling, roll up, place in a baking dish, cover with milk and bake until the palacinka absorbed almost all of the milk. I have followed this recipe for the basic crepe and finished with the milk and it was great. Thanks for a great memory!
