Granny's fluffy Palatschinken Recipe (Austrian crepes)

Traditional Austrian crepe recipe with beaten egg whites. Makes fluffy, slightly thicker crepes like many Austrian grandmas used to make them!

Vorbereitungszeit 10

Arbeitszeit 20

Portionen small crepes

200 g coarse flour special flour that is used for dumlings or Spätzle - alternatively use all purpose flour
400 ml milk
2 eggs
neutral oil corn oil, rapeseed oil or clarified butter.

Separate the yolks from the egg whites. Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff.
In a second bowl, mix the egg yolks with the milk and flour.
Fold in the beaten egg whites with a spoon. Mix everything carefully, do not use the mixer anymore.
Let stand for about 10 minutes so that the dough gets a better binding.
Before baking, stir again with a wooden spoon. If the batter is not runny enough, add a little more milk if necessary, so that it is easier to spread in the pan.
Heat 1-2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan. With well coated pans you need less fat. For this recipe, however, I recommend a little more oil than you would usually use, because Granny's crepes fall apart more easily due to the coarse flour.
Pour a ladleful of pancake batter into the pan once the fat is hot. Hold the pan at an angle and turn so that the batter is evenly distributed. If necessary, help it along with the spatula. As soon as the pancake is light brown on the underside, carefully turn it over with the spatula and finish baking on the second side.
Spread with the jam of your choice, roll and sprinkle with powdered sugar - enjoy!

If you don't have the time to beat the egg whites, you will need 3-4 eggs instead of 2 for the same amount of flour and milk.
