My older brother was the palincsinta maker in our house. I remember plates of strawberry and cottage cheese palincsinta as well as cinnamon and sugar for us kids. The adults had cinnamon sugar crushed pecans and Rum. Christmas was a special Hungarian feast. Leave it to the magyars. Thank you for bringing back memories from 60 yrs ago!😊
This video makes me want to cry. I miss my grandfather so very much. He used to make these for me for breakfast when I was a kid when I would spend the night at my grandparents house. We filled ours with jam.
My son and i watched this video and he begged me to make some! I didn't have a non-stick pan so we went to the store and got one, and the recipe in that pan worked perfectly and was very easy! Thank you so much for the recipe and video. I'll make these all the time now! (We are of Hungairan Ancestry- Erdody)
Thank you very much for going to the effort of sharing your method. My mum used to make palacsinta all the time and it was one of my favourite foods as a youngster. I have made the flat version of pancakes but could never get them thin enough to roll up like mother used to do. I will be making some tonight after watching this! I prefer jam filling or turos, with icing sugar sprinkled on top. People should not criticize until AFTER they have also contributed a recipe. Thank you for your effort!
I am Hungarian and we love palacsinta! As with most Hungarian recipes, there are many different ways to make them, depending on how you learned it or the region of the country. This is very similar to how I make it except I add lemon zest to the batter and I make a lot more at once. to be continued...
My dad is authentic Hungarian. Use to make these all the time. He would fill them with very fine walnuts mixed with sugar also poppy seeds. I called them the black things. It's funny..whenever he got angry at us kids he would tell at us in Hungarian..none of us spoke it!! LoL. He did all the grocery shopping and cooking...oh how is miss his red cabbage salad both hot and cold. Cucumber salad..I wish he would have taught me more...Csizmadia
my father was the same way, he would also curse at us in hungarian. cucumber salad aka uborkasalata is easy, slice cucumber very thin and mix with salt, let it sit for an hour then drain/squeeze out all of the liquid. crush some garlic cloves, add some sugar and a little vinegar and toss with the cucumber. season to taste with paprika, salt and pepper then refrigerate it for an hour or more. serve with sour cream.
my hungarian family made these all the time for breakfast with jam as the filling most of the time, but when strawberries were in season we had them with strawberries and whipped cream also as breakfast but sometimes as dessert. my favorite way to mix the batter is in a blender, add the milk and eggs first along with the vanilla, we never used sugar, then add the flour with the blender running until you get the right consistency. i usually don't measure anything, that's how i learned to make them as a kid. pour from the blender pitcher into the cooking pan, i like to use a lodge 10" cast iron griddle because it's easy to flip them using a long cake frosting spatula.
Well done! I use my mother's recipe. It is very similar, we don't use the vanilla, but I just might next time. My parents came from Hungary after WWII so we are authentic. Our family preferred jam on our palacsinta. Or, my personal fave was the sweetened cottage lemon zest & raisin combo filling, with sour cream on top. YUM! Good job on the explanation. Will make sure my nieces see this so they too can make palacsinta for their kids. Thanks.
@TheHungarianGourmet Csokolom good receipt1My Granny used to make it almost the same except she did not put sugar into the actual dough and she used half milk half soda water.She didn't put sugar because she said that there will be sugar in the stuffing and she also covered it with powdered sugar after rolled up,plus less chance to stick.Her favorite was the Turos Palacsinta(europian cottage cheese,egg yolk.vanila and sugar)yam yam nagyon jo a video thanx
Szuper koszi szepen. Erdelybol jovok (mar 20+ even kulfoldon elek) es emlekszem hogy anyum szokta ezeket a palcsintakat csinalni, pont ugy mint itt a videoban. Ma en is kiprobaltam es jol is jott ki, csak annyi hogy amikor osszefogtam, egy kicsit torott egy par helyen, nem tudom hogy miert. De maskepp nagyon finom volt, kosz megegyszer a receptet. Many thanks for the recipe, the rest is in Hungarian :)
Why does this look like my grandmas hands I love it it makes me feel so relaxed like when she tries to teach me but I just watch waiting for the outcome
THANK YOU! I appreciate your support - there are probably 1000 different ways to make any given recipe... the ones I show in my videos are the ways I am used to and enjoy- thanks again and happy cooking!
Being of Hungarian heritage my mom used to make these for us growing up. They were always a big hit....She used to put lekvar or a cottage cheese with cinnamon sugar mixture also. I am thinking of experimenting with Nutella or maybe using the sour cherry or rosehip spread. I think I better make a bigger batch ;-)
@cprs9 and then you melt the chocolate and if that's not sweet enough for you, you can put honey in it. By the way the cottage cheese filling (with the beated eggs and lemon and raisins) is WAY more of a typical hungarian filling than the chocolate thing.
@jennkennben Hi! I am VERY happy that you enjoyed the palacsintas!! they're really good served plain, with cocoa inside or with jam. Happy cooking! ;-)
My mother had one pan that she only used to fry palacsinta in. I remember to this day some sixty years later the scolding I got when I fried an egg in that pan.
You just have to mix the cottage cheese with some sour cream to make it softer (you can figure out the proportions on the way), add vanilla sugar, lemon zest, sugar (according to how sweet you like it), and if you like raisins, you can use them too, but soak them in hot water beforehand. One of my favourite fillings by the way. This is just my version, there are a million ways to make it.
Farmers cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, sugar, grated lemon peel, raisin, egg yolk.Leave it in the fridge a night before.----- Try it--- Enjoy it!
When I've tried making pancakes on an electric stove they start to burn after half a dozen, I wonder if gas gives a more consistent heat or maybe the pan got too dry. That tip with spoon around the edges is very clever.
FIREHAWK1979 I had that problem with certain things.... eggs. pancakes. the pan gets too hot between pancakes... either work quicker or remove the pan from the heat till your ready for the next one.
...continued...Mine is made with flour, milk, eggs, lemon zest, sugar, club soda. I don't measure anything. And my favorite filling is farmer cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. When I was a child my mother always added an egg in there, but with salmonella worries, we don't do that anymore. The other favorite filling is apricot jam and my daughter loves it with Nutella.
@kennypan22 Real Hungarian palacsinta (not crepes) are sweet, or savory and can have any filling you want to put in there. Cottage cheese, jams, dió (nuts), cocoa-sugar mix, honey etc. I ate "kakaós palacsintát" often as a child in Budapest. Now in Sydney, Australia I mainly eat it as a savory dish with chicken paprikás, veal paprikás, mushroom paprikás etc. finished in the oven with sour cream on top. Only your imagination is the limit
GREAT. My Grandparents, from Budpest, made similar Palascinta. Please, do not BAD MOUTH this woman who is trying to show Americans how to cook. Different than U? Probably. We do the best we can. Well done Hungarian Gourmet.
Cocoa powder is not going to melt in the microwave. There's no butter fat in there! All it will do is burn the cocoa and the sugar, then you can throw the whole thing out. The recipe for the batter was marginal but unless you are using a sweetened ricotta filling or apricot or rosehip jam, this is not true palacsinta. Serve at just above room temperature dusted with powdered sugar. That's how it's done.
i am hungarian and make it a lot also. no, agree this is not for people who try to watch their diet. of course you can substitute with other ingredients but that would not be the authentic recepe. i think you can cheat once in a while to enjoy an ethnic dish:)
@cprs9 you are Rude! just because you make it in the old kommunista palacsintasutoben it doesn't mean teflon would not work! And if you make it in teflon you can put sugar in it too, because it won't stick or burn! The old iron pan palacsintas were greasy like hell! Thank God for Teflon!...and what is this comment about the sugar and coco powder? these two makes an excellent filling!
1. you do not use a teflon pan, you use an iron pan for palacsinta. 2. if you have to use a teflon one, you never touch it with a spoon or anything metal. 3. you do not put sugar in the dough because it can burn. 4. mixing white sugar with powdered industrial chocolate is a post-war (shall I say socialist) mentality where proper quality food was not available. you do want to use quality chocolate, possibly over 70-80% cocoa content e.g the amedei stemming from italy or the like.
Way too much sugar! I have never heard of using sugar in the mixture! I have never heard of cocoa + sugar (way too much again) filling. Hungarians use jam, cottage cheese + raisins, poppy seeds, walnuts. Chocolate is used in a Gundel palacsinta.
please be aware that palacsinta would have been a gourmet thru the 2nd world war because food was very hard to come by. One of my Dads daily meals was fried cabbage and spaghetti and if cooked right and you use a young cabbage it is delicious v

You are so talented.
And very kind to teach us this.
I’m Hungarian and I love it so much
I have this saved so I can look at it every year when Lent rolls around.:) Thank you!:) Just like my mother, a great Hungarian cook, used to make!:)
Im hungarian and i love it. If the others would know how much good it is with sweet cottage cheese cream..!! ;)
Anett Gál That was my favorite version that my nugymama would make. My mama likes apricot jam. blah
Imadom a turosat

I grew up on these! Im of Hungarian ancestry too!!! So good. I am going to make some for my son today ;)
THANK YOU! I appreciate your support - there are probably 1000 different ways to make any given recipe... the ones I show in my videos are the ways I am used to and enjoy- thanks again and happy cooking!

I'm Hungarian & I make this sometimes but I make a lemon or strawberry cream filling for it
Hamár angol, akkor mért nem lehet pancake-et írni?
Do you have to use the vanilla extract?
@jennkennben Hi! I am VERY happy that you enjoyed the palacsintas!! they're really good served plain, with cocoa inside or with jam. Happy cooking! ;-)

I love palacsinta although I've been pronouncing them incorrectly all these years. Thanks for the recipe.
Ron Richo I pronounce it paw-law-cheen-taw. How have you been pronouncing it?
Omg ! thanks for uploading , do u have a recipe for the cottage cheese type filling?
Farmers cheese, sour cream, vanilla extract, sugar, grated lemon peel, raisin, egg yolk.Leave it in the fridge a night before.----- Try it--- Enjoy it!
Fill with cottage cheese and sour cream with sugar.Strawberies on top whip cream yum

I used to see cottage cheese filling when I was in Hungary. They mixed cottage cheese + sugar + ground cinnamon + raisin.
Apricot jam. ♥️♥️🤗🤗

@kennypan22 It's not cottage cheese, it's sweetened ricotta.
in hungary, cottage cheese or farmer's cheese is similar to italian ricotta or indian paneer. american cottage cheese pellets are very different...
miért lenne rossz nézni? szerintem teljesen jól csinálta...
@NYCILI Tell me about it :-\

when i remember my mom used to make palacsintat sokszor csak ahogy kisult toltelek nelkul ettuk es megis finom volt
Jo video.. kiveve, mindenki tudja, hogy nem lehet talalni jo fuszert Americaban erre..

Ebbe a formába, hogy lett csomómentes a tészta arra azért kíváncsi lennék? De ez csak egy kis kötözködés,amúgy rendben van! Szebb jövőt!!!
My mother would put jelly or cottage cheese in pancake before it was rolled up.
plum jam inside, sprinkle powdered sugar on top, classic, egan!!
igen ..
Just cottage cheese + sugar as the filing and powered sugar on top :-)
So I posted a comment yesterday here and now it's gone?
you're welcome! if there's another recipe you'd like to see us post, please let us know! :-)
We fill ours with lekvar, mmmmm! I guess I'd have to quadruple this recipe -- in our house, 8 = one serving!
Club soda is very important
no it isn't.
akor ne nezed
cottage cheese, sugar, raisins and vanilla sugar, little sour cream.
Instead of cocoa & sugar filling add cinnamon you'll love it ..
Cinnamon and sugar? Im Hungarian and I haven't tried this but I'll try it in 2 days. Thanks for the suggestion!
annak ugy mondjak pancake
My grandma is the best in this
pancake = palacsinta
5 Tablespoons of sugar !!!!!!!!! holy shitballs! do the pancakes almost become a jam?
be ware of the sugar load
Gene Simmons' mom always make palacsinta for her son and his band mates :)
nagyanyam es jobbat csinal wazee
we just throw up to change the side of the palacsinta in hungary :D

Ilyen béna palacsintát 10 éves koromban sütöttem :)))
if you call yourself gourmet please stop telling ppl to use the microwave. it destroys all the nutrition
Real Hungarian crepes have a cottage cheese filling.
I do not endure this American mentality bloody somehow.
@TheHungarianGourmet YUCK!!!
