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.

Dough:.
1: Whisk together flour, milk, 4 whole eggs, the dash of sparkling mineral water and the pinch of salt to a relatively liquid dough. (If you like your dough sweet, add a table spoon of sugar).

Preparation of Crêpes:.

2: Add about 6 tablespoons of the dough and disperse it all over the skillet's bottom.
3: Flip Palatschinken over after it has "set" (allow the "Palatschinken" to get some light colour on both sides.).
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).
Topping
5: Whisk together the remaining last egg, confectioner's sugar and crème fraîche and pour over the crêpes.
