Crêpes (Hungarian: Palacsinta) Recipe

Crêpes (Hungarian: Palacsinta)
Some might call these Hungarian pancakes. Unlike American pancakes, these are served at all meals, and even dessert, much like a crêpe. Fillings include jam and Nutella.

• 2 Eggs
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tsp. sugar (for sweet crepes only)
• 3 dl (1 1/4 cup) of milk
• 150 grams (5 1/4 oz) of flour
• 1 dl (1/2 cup) of soda water
• Oil (for frying)

Makes 12.
Mix eggs, salt, 2 dl milk, and flour in a large bowl. You can add sugar as well, if you like. Mix in rest of milk and soda water. Mix until creamy.

Let the mixture rest at least 15 minutes.

Add milk or soda water if the batter is too thick.

Lightly oil the pan with a pastry brush, heat.

Pour in small ladle of the batter. Gently shake the pan and fry. When the crêpe no longer sticks, fry a few seconds more. Turn the crêpe using a spatula, and continue to fry.

Perfect Sampler of Milka Chocolate

The Milka Naps Mix Gift Box is a fun, unique gift for those tired of Whitman's and the usual American brands. Nothing wrong with Whitman's, but sometimes a change of look and flavor is nice.

As a sampler, it provides only a few of the Milka options. Four flavors are here: noisette, hazelnuts, alpine milk and strawberry. All are delicious, though I don't like strawberry/chocolate (in any candy) personally, and give those away to eager friends. The Naps box are perfect for coffee tables and as a standalone dish at work.

Milka and its famous purple cow, is owned by Kraft, is an eastern European chocolate originally produced in Switzerland and is available in Germany, Austria, Hungary and other nearby countries.

Distribution is still weak in the United States, but can be found increasingly in larger cities. Usually, then, it is found only in international grocery stores, though it pops up in eclectic grocers from time to time. It has been around 100 years. Whether or not Kraft will change the recipe has yet to be seen. For now, the texture and taste are better than Hershey's and Nestle. It is a smoother, creamier basic chocolate.

I fully recommend the Milka Naps Mix Gift Box.

Milka Chocolate Extravaganza

Someone mentioned how Milka Chocolate is better than American chocolate, and about as inexpensive. Hard to find in most grocery stores, it is available on Amazon.com. You can also try any of these Eastern European/Hungarian grocery stores (call first). Also try: Hungarian Ingredients on Amazon.com
