Pancakes are a staple in every Hungarian household, enjoyed for breakfast, snacks, or dessert. Their history stretches back centuries, influenced by the French and Austrian cuisines before spreading to Hungary. The simplicity and versatility of pancakes make them so popular, as the batter is quick to prepare and the filling options are endless.
Making pancakes is not complicated, and anyone can easily master it. Whether filled with jam, cottage cheese, or cocoa, every bite of a pancake is a mouthwatering experience. Pancakes are one of the most versatile dishes, and can even be prepared in savory versions, such as filled with ham and cheese. The special thing about pancakes is that every family has its own secret recipe, passed down for generations.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, sparkling water, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat the process until all the batter is used.
Fill the pancakes with your favorite fillings such as jam, cocoa, or cottage cheese. Serve warm.
