🥞 Hungarian-Style Palacsinta (Low-Carb Crepes)

 

Keto Hungarian-Style Palacsinta (Low-Carb Crepes)

Craving something delicate, delicious, and filled with flavor? Palacsinta, the Hungarian version of crepes, is a family favorite in our kitchen—thanks to my Hungarian husband! Traditionally served with sweet or savory fillings, these thin pancakes are now getting a keto makeover, so you can enjoy them without the carbs.

🥞 What Is Palacsinta?

Palacsinta (pronounced pah-lah-CHEEN-tah) is Hungary’s version of crepes—thin, tender pancakes typically rolled up with sweet jam, cottage cheese, or savory meat and cheese fillings. Unlike American pancakes, they’re light and flexible, perfect for wrapping your favorite fillings.

🧁 Keto Palacsinta Recipe

Makes about 6 small crepes

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs

• 4 oz cream cheese (softened)

• 1/4 cup almond flour

• 1 tbsp coconut flour (for texture)

• 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (add more for thinner crepes)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (for sweet version)

• Pinch of salt

• Butter or coconut oil for the pan

Instructions:

1. Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes.

2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.

3. Pour 2–3 tablespoons of batter into the pan and swirl to spread evenly.

4. Cook for 1–2 minutes on one side until edges lift easily, then flip and cook another 30 seconds.

5. Repeat until all batter is used. Let cool slightly before filling and rolling.

🍓 Keto Filling Ideas

• Sweet Cottage Cheese Filling (Túró Rudi Style):
  Mix full-fat ricotta or cottage cheese with a little vanilla, lemon zest, and powdered erythritol. Roll up and dust with extra powdered sweetener or drizzle with sugar-free chocolate sauce.

• Nutty Chocolate Spread:
  Use sugar-free hazelnut or almond butter with a sprinkle of chopped nuts and cinnamon.

• Savory Option:
  Fill with sour cream, smoked ham, and shredded cheese for a hearty breakfast version.

These keto Palacsinta bring a taste of Hungary to your low-carb table. Whether you're reminiscing about family traditions or trying something new, they're sure to impress. They’re soft, flexible, and satisfying—with or without fillings!
