Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
1/2 cup fruit jam or preserves (apricot, plum, or raspberry)
2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1

In a blender or mixing bowl, combine 2 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp granulated sugar, and 1 tbsp melted butter. Blend or whisk until smooth batter forms. Let rest 5-10 minutes.
2

Heat a nonstick skillet or crepe pan over medium-high heat. Lightly butter with 1 tbsp butter (for cooking).
3

Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the center and immediately tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread thinly and evenly. Cook until the bottom is golden, about 1-2 minutes.
4

Flip carefully and cook the other side for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until set.
5

Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crepes as you go.
6

Warm 1/2 cup fruit jam or preserves (apricot, plum, or raspberry) slightly if desired. Spread a spoonful of jam down the center of each crepe and roll tightly or fold into quarters.
7

Arrange on a serving plate and dust generously with 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting).
8

Serve warm or at room temperature.

What is Palacinta?

What can I use instead of powdered sugar in Palacinta?

The entry for Palacinta calls for 2 tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting). In its place: Blend granulated sugar with a teaspoon of cornstarch per cup until fine.

Can I make Palacinta dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in Palacinta is 1 cup whole milk, 1 tbsp melted butter, 1 tbsp butter (for cooking). Swap the milk for unsweetened oat or soy milk; the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

Can I make Palacinta gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in Palacinta is 1/2 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.
