Walnut and Honey Crepes
Crepes are one of the most well-known Hungarian desserts, which can be varied in countless ways. The walnut and honey version is especially popular during the winter months, when honey and walnuts add warmth and rich flavors to the dish. This dessert has been a favorite treat in Hungary for generations, and almost every family has its own secret recipe. The honey slightly caramelizes on the warm crepe, while the crunchiness of the walnuts provides the perfect contrast. These crepes are an ideal choice for a dessert after a cozy family lunch, or even a special breakfast treat. If you want to make it even more special, try adding a little cinnamon or vanilla!

Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. This ensures even distribution and helps to prevent lumps in the crepe batter.
2
Crack in the eggs, then gradually add the milk while continuously whisking. This prevents lumps from forming and results in a smooth batter.
3
Slowly pour in the sparkling water and oil, mixing until a homogenous batter forms. The sparkling water makes the crepes light and airy.
4
Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the flour to properly absorb the liquid, ensuring that the crepes cook evenly.
5
Heat a skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot skillet, spreading it evenly by tilting the pan.
6
Cook the crepe for about 1 minute, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip it with a spatula, then cook for another 30-40 seconds.
7
Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. Stack the cooked crepes on top of each other to keep them warm.
8
Spread each crepe with a little honey, then sprinkle with ground walnuts. You can roll them up or fold them into triangles, according to your preference.
9
Serve fresh, drizzled with extra honey and sprinkled with walnuts, if desired. Let the flavors meld for a few minutes before enjoying.
