Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp granulated sugar
1/8 tsp kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whole milk
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp vegetable oil (for the pan)
1/2 cup apricot jam
2 tbsp powdered sugar

Instructions

1

Whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tsp granulated sugar, and 1/8 tsp kosher salt in a bowl. Whisk in 2 large eggs, then slowly add 1 1/4 cups whole milk until smooth.
2

Stir in the melted unsalted butter, 2 tbsp. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream.
3

Heat an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Brush it lightly with a little of 2 tsp vegetable oil (for the pan).
4

Pour a small ladle of batter into the pan and tilt the pan to spread it thinly. Cook about 1 minute, until the edges lift and the bottom is golden.
5

Flip with a thin spatula and cook 30 seconds more. Stack the palatschinken on a plate and keep them warm, brushing the pan with a little more vegetable oil (for the pan) between each one.
6

Spread each one with a thin layer of 1/2 cup apricot jam. Roll or fold each one, then dust with 2 tbsp powdered sugar. Serve warm.
