ReceptnaptárPancakes with kajmak and walnuts (palačinke)
Palačinke are the pancakes of the Balkans: thin, and made much like Hungarian palacsinta. This version is filled with kajmak, walnuts and honey, which gives it a particularly rich flavour. The salty, lightly fermented cream and the sweetness of the honey balance each other well. They suit a weekend breakfast or a dessert, and are ready in half an hour.

Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Whisk the milk, flour, eggs, oil and salt into a smooth, thick but pourable pancake batter.
- Cook the pancakes in a hot pan brushed with a little oil until golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side.
- Mix the kajmak with the ground walnuts and honey.
- Spoon some of the kajmak and walnut cream into the middle of each pancake.
- Fold the pancakes into triangles or roll them up.
- If you like them warm, reheat both sides in a dry pan for a few seconds.
- Before serving, you can sprinkle over a few more ground walnuts or some icing sugar.

Tips
- Rest the batter if you have time, because the flour swells and the pancakes will not tear when you turn them.
- Oil the pan only very thinly, because with too much oil the edges of the pancake turn crisp and the middle greasy.
- If you use mascarpone, stir a pinch of salt into the cream as well, because kajmak is slightly salty and this is what gives it real character.
Frequently asked questions
What can replace kajmak?
Mascarpone is best, but a mix of thick sour cream and soft butter also works. The flavour will be slightly sweeter, so you can get away with less honey.
Can they be made with other fillings?
Yes, with jam, chocolate spread or curd cheese. In the Balkans, pancakes with Nutella and walnuts are also a classic, and ham and cheese is the favourite savoury version.
