A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc.

  9. 2: Add about 6 tablespoons of the dough and disperse it all over the skillet's bottom.

  10. 3: Flip Palatschinken over after it has "set" (allow the "Palatschinken" to get some light colour on both sides.).

  11. 4: Butter a casserole dish and fill the crêpes with the curd filling, roll them up and put them in the casserole (side to side).
