Just about every culinary culture has pancakes. You know that chain pancake place over by the highway? They claim to be 'International', but they only offer us French Toast and Belgian Waffles. What other international delights are they keeping from us?

Very similar to Flinsen! Palatschinke is a popular Central European crepe, especially in Czechia, Austria, and Hungary. The batter is made from a mix of flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt, resulting in delicate, flexible pancakes that can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings. Once filled, the palatschinke is typically rolled up or folded, making it a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, dessert, or even as a main course.

The most common fillings for palatschinke include apricot or raspberry jam, Nutella, or sweetened cottage cheese. After rolling, the crepes might be dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat. In some savory versions, the pancakes are filled with spinach, ham, or cheese, making them a hearty and satisfying meal.
