How to Make Austrian Topfenpalatschinken Austrian Sweet Crpes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the Topfen (or ricotta/cream cheese mixture), eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Gradually add the flour and milk, whisking constantly until a smooth batter forms. Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite additions such as powdered sugar, fruit preserves, whipped cream, or fresh berries.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
