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.

- Filling:.
- 1: Break 2 eggs into a bowl and add 120g of sugar, vanilla sugar and beat until fluffy.
- 2: Add curd or ricotta (or ricotta/cream cheese mixture), lemon cest and again mix together well.
- Preparation of Crêpes:.
- 1: Add 10g of butter to a skillet and let it melt, wait until it's sizzling hot (don't let it get brown).
- 2: Add about 6 tablespoons of the dough and disperse it all over the skillet's bottom.
- 3: Flip Palatschinken over after it has "set" (allow the "Palatschinken" to get some light colour on both sides.).
- 4: Butter a casserole dish and fill the crêpes with the curd filling, roll them up and put them in the casserole (side to side).
- Topping

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your crêpes. Look for organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Let the batter rest: Allowing the batter to rest for at least 30 minutes before cooking will help it to develop a smooth, rich flavor.
- Use a well-seasoned crêpe pan: A well-seasoned crêpe pan will help to prevent the crêpes from sticking. If you don't have a crêpe pan, you can use a nonstick skillet.
- Cook the crêpes over medium heat: Cooking the crêpes over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
- Flip the crêpes carefully: Use a spatula to carefully flip the crêpes. If you flip them too soon, they will break.
- Fill the crêpes with your favorite toppings: You can fill the crêpes with a variety of toppings, such as fruit, cheese, chocolate, or whipped cream.
