CROATIAN PANCAKE (PALAČINKA)

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option with a similar richness.

jam

🥗Healthier: fresh fruit

💰Cheaper: syrup

Fresh fruit adds natural sweetness and nutrition.

whipped cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipped topping

Greek yogurt reduces calories while adding creaminess.

cheese

🥗Healthier: ricotta

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Ricotta offers a lighter alternative with a similar texture.

Mix flour, eggs, milk, and water in a bowl until smooth.

Add melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture; stir well.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook until edges lift and the bottom is golden, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until set.

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.

Spread jam, nutella, or cheese on one half of the pancake.

Fold the pancake in half, then in half again to form a triangle.

Serve warm, topped with fruit, whipped cream, or powdered sugar.
