Thin Hungarian Pancakes (Palacsintas) p. 134 By Kathy Miller 3 cups flour 3 eggs 1/2 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk Margarine Combine all ingredients except margarine, batter should be thin. Using an 8- or 10-inch skillet with sloping sides, preheat to medium/medium-high heat. Melt a teaspoon of margarine in pan and rotate pan to distribute. When a few drops of water sizzle when sprinkled in the pan, skillet is ready. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into the skillet and rotate to distribute batter in a thin layer covering the bottom. Allow to cook for half a minute, then give skillet a shake to loosen pancake from bottom. Cook until edges begin to brown and underside is golden brown. Flip over. These pancakes are light enough that a flick of the wrist will turn them right over in the pan. Cook on second side another half minute or so and move to a covered plate to keep warm. Melt another teaspoon of margarine and repeat. Be sure to melt a teaspoon of margarine in the skillet before cooking each palacsinta. To eat, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, spread with jam, or a mixture of cottage cheese with jam, and roll up. Typical flavors of jam are apricot, plum, or cherry. Serves 6 to 8.
