Description

Palacinke is the Serbian version of crepes--they are filled with a sweet of savory filling, like cheese, jam, or nuts, and rolled up.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large egg whites
3 cups milk
4 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter for the pan, or more as needed

Directions

1 Sift together flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.
2 Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3 Mix milk, egg yolks, oil, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Whisk in flour mixture until well combined. Fold in egg whites with a spatula.
4 Heat a small piece of butter in a skillet and pour a small amount of batter into the skillet. Turn skillet so batter covers the bottom of the skillet. Cook until lightly browned on one side, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancake over and cook on the other side for 1 to 2 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter, always melting a new small piece of butter in the skillet first.
