Palatschinken Recipe – Austrian Pancakes

If you like pancakes you will like this recipe for Palatschinken which are thin pancakes and very similar to the French crêpes but much thinner than the American pancakes.
Palatschinken contain only a few ingredients: eggs, wheat flour, milk, sugar and salt. You would fry them in a pan with butter or oil. You can also fill the Palatschinken if you like, and enjoy them either for lunch or dinner.
Traditionally they are rolled with  apricot, strawberry, or plum jam, and sprinkled with fine sugar.  But you also can combine them with maple syrup, just like the American pancakes. They taste great with Nutella or a thick and fruity  sauce made out  apples, plums, raspberries, cherries or sour cherries.  You can add almonds, dried or fresh fruits, sweet cottage or quark cheese and raisins. Happy Cooking!
