Palatschinken are thin pancakes popular in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Austria and Hungary. They are made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt, which is cooked on a hot skillet until golden brown. These versatile pancakes can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as sweet fillings like jam, chocolate, or cottage cheese, or savory options like mushrooms or spinach. After filling, they are often rolled or folded and served warm, making them a delightful dish for breakfast, dessert, or even a main course.
