• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 cup fruit preserves or jam
• powdered sugar to taste for dusting

Method

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, and salt until a smooth batter forms.

2. 2

   Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

3. 3

   Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the bottom.

4. 4

   Pour a small ladleful of batter into the skillet and swirl it around to evenly coat the bottom. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is lightly browned.

5. 5

   Flip the palatschinke and cook for an additional 1 minute on the other side. Remove and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.

6. 6

   Spread a thin layer of fruit preserves or jam on each palatschinke, then roll them up neatly.

7. 7

   Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
