Palicinka or simple crepe recipe

My daughter started asking for palicinka/crepes ever since we went for a playdate with our kindy friends. This is a really convenient batter to make and keep in the fridge overnight. Then, its easy to make up anytime, the following day.

• 1C milk (whole or low fat)
• 1 egg
• 1/2T melted butter
• 1t sugar
• 1/4t salt
• 1/2C flour (white or white/wholemeal mix)


1. Pour milk into a bowl, mix in egg, melted butter, sugar, salt then gently stir in the flour.
2. Cover with gladwrap and rest in the fridge. Over time, if there are lumps of flour, they will get saturated with the liquid. Also, its best to let the gluten rest, but it will still work, if don't have the time to rest the batter. 
3. Heat up a non-stick pan, pour in 1/4 (or less) of batter as you tilt the pan, as you coat a thin layer in the pan. When lightly brown on the underside, flip to cook the other side.
4. Cook up and stack these puppies.
5. Serve them us as you go or bring to the table and let your guests fill their own crepes.

Tip: If they are to be consumed with sweet fillings, I recommend adding a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter. My daughter loves these with simple fillings like: icing sugar and lemon juice or cinnamon ricotta cheese with honey. I love them with jam or nutella. My husband loves them with any kind of cheese and salami/ham. 

The moderation part comes to play as they can be cooked up and left in the fridge....a quick snack whenever you want some. Also, its easier to mix up compared to other recipes that call for 3-4 eggs.
