CROATIAN PALAčINKE CREPES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs and milk until well combined. Mix in the club soda.
• Add the flour and salt and stir with a whisk until only a few lumps of flour remain.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. As the flour is absorbed by the wet ingredients, the batter will smooth out.
• Once rested, stir the batter until smooth (though a few lumps are ok) to prepare for cooking the crepes .
• Heat an 8-inch nonstick crepe pan or skillet. Add 1 of the teaspoon butter and 1 teaspoon of the oil.
• Add about 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, tilting and swirling so it covers most of the bottom of the pan.
• Cook about 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is lightly browned. Flip over and brown the second side. Remove to a platter.
• Continue with the cooking process, adding the remaining butter and oil as necessary-probably every third crepe. Stack the cooked crepes to keep warm. Serve and enjoy.

CROATIAN-SERBIAN SWEET CHEESE PALACINKE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all the sweet cheese filling ingredients. Let it rest, covered and refrigerated, for 1 1/2 hours while you make the palačinke.
• In a blender or food processor, combine the batter ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a pitcher, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes so the liquid can be absorbed by the flour.
• Using a 2-ounce ladle, portion out batter into a nonstick skillet that has been coated with equal parts butter and oil. Rotate pan and swirl batter until it covers the entire bottom of the pan. Cook until lightly brown or spotted brown on the underside. Turn and cook the second side until light brown. See these step-by-step crepe-making instructions for more assistance.
• Remove to waxed paper or parchment paper and repeat with remaining batter, separating palačinke with waxed paper or parchment. At this point, palačinke can be used immediately or wrapped and frozen up to one month.
• Place 2 heaping tablespoons filling on one edge of each palačinke and roll away from yourself.
• Heat oven to 350 F. Place filled palačinke on a buttered or parchment-lined baking sheet. Combine all topping ingredients, mixing well, and spread on top of filled palačinke. Bake 20 minutes.
