A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc. Ingredients:
100 g flour (' 3.5oz) |
250 ml milk (' 1 cup) |
7 eggs (size ( m) |
1 pinch salt |
1 dash sparkling water (leave out if not at hand) |
750 g curds (26.5oz, usually 3 standard containers) or 750 g ricotta cheese (26.5oz, usually 3 standard containers) or 750 g ricotta and cream cheese (26.5oz, usually 3 standard containers) |
120 g sugar (' 4.23oz) |
1 tablespoon vanilla sugar |
1 teaspoon lemon, cest |
60 g butter (' 1.1oz) |
200 g creme fraiche (' 7oz) |
50 g confectioners' sugar (1.76oz) |
Directions:
1. Dough:.
2. 1: Whisk together flour, milk, 4 whole eggs, the dash of sparkling mineral water and the pinch of salt to a relatively liquid dough. (If you like your dough sweet, add a table spoon of sugar).
3. 2: Let the dough sit for about 15 minutes.
4. Filling:.
5. 1: Break 2 eggs into a bowl and add 120g of sugar, vanilla sugar and beat until fluffy.
6. 2: Add curd or ricotta (or ricotta/cream cheese mixture), lemon cest and again mix together well.
7. Preparation of Crêpes:.
8. 1: Add 10g of butter to a skillet and let it melt, wait until it's sizzling hot (don't let it get brown).
9. 2: Add about 6 tablespoons of the dough and disperse it all over the skillet's bottom.
10. 3: Flip Palatschinken over after it has set (allow the Palatschinken to get some light colour on both sides.).
11. 4: Butter a casserole dish and fill the crêpes with the curd filling, roll them up and put them in the casserole (side to side).
12. Topping
13. 5: Whisk together the remaining last egg, confectioner's sugar and crème fraîche and pour over the crêpes.
