How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Whisk together the eggs and salt

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and salt until slightly frothy.

  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

    Gradually whisk in the milk and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until well combined.

  3. Slowly add the flour while whisking continuously

    Slowly add the flour while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until the batter is smooth and resembles thin cream.

  4. Stir in the sparkling water

    Stir in the sparkling water. This will lighten the batter. Let the batter rest for about 5-10 minutes.

  5. Heat a non-stick pan

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat (375°F / 190°C). Lightly grease with a few drops of oil.

  6. Pour a small ladle of batter

    Pour a small ladle of batter into the center of the pan and quickly swirl to cover the bottom in a thin, even layer.

  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes

    Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to brown and pull away from the pan. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for 30-60 seconds until golden spots appear.

A little kitchen wisdom

Using sparkling water in the batter makes the palačinke lighter and luftier. Let the batter rest to ensure the flour is fully hydrated, which prevents the crepes from tearing.
