AUSTRIAN TOPFENPALATSCHINKEN - AUSTRIAN SWEET CRêPES
A very traditional and extremely delicious Austro-Hungarian dessert, that goes back quite some time. As i couldn't find it on food.com i decided to post my version in here. I hope you'll enjoy it! If you can't get hold of curd you might as well use Ricotta, or a mixture of half Ricotta - half Cream-Cheese. Using low cal products is absolutely fine, but remember: the higher the fat content, the more flavour you usually get :). I converted the European measurements to their US equivalents, but don't hesitate to experiment and decide for yourselves, whether you like it a hint sweeter, thinner, ... etc.

AUSTRIAN PALASCHINKEN(AUSTRIAN ROLLED CREPES)
This was a staple dinner for lazy Sunday nights taught to us by our Austrian dad. We learned how to make Palaschinken very early on and continue to now make it for our families. I have friends from Hungary/Croatia who also make it for an easy dinner. Delicious and easy once you get the knack of making the crepes. Don't...

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Topfenpalatschinken are best made with fresh ingredients, especially the topfen (quark) and eggs. Fresh ingredients will give your pancakes a better flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your pancakes tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking will help the flour to absorb the liquid and make the pancakes more tender.
- Use a nonstick pan: A nonstick pan will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick pan, you can grease the pan with butter or oil.
- Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly without burning.
- Flip the pancakes carefully: When flipping the pancakes, use a spatula to gently loosen the edges of the pancake before flipping it. This will help to prevent the pancake from breaking.
- Serve the pancakes immediately: Topfenpalatschinken are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can serve them with a variety of toppings, such as butter, sugar, cinnamon, fruit, or whipped cream.
