Palacinky (crepes) for dessert, or breakfast
Marni Sumbal, MS, RD
Since I met Karel in 2006, my tummy has welcomed many Czech creations. It's always a special treat when we receive our yearly shipment of Karel's mom's Czech x-mas cookies (homemade, prepared with love and sent from Znojmo, Czech Republic).
But I also enjoy the creations that Karel makes, along with the stories that go with the meal/food.
Inspired by my Czech hubby, I made Palacinky last night for a holiday party at Open Road Bicycles Jax Beach. Not only was the party a holiday sweater theme but also an international food theme.
In bite size pieces for easy tasting.
It's a Czech dessert which is similar to crepes. I filled mine with strawberry rhubarb jam for the party.
The ingredient list is super simple that you can make Palacinky and use it like a wrap for any of your favorite fillings.
A few ideas if you are using them as a dessert:
Peanut butter, jam, sunflower seeds and banana slices
Whipped cream cheese, cinnamon and apple slices
Pear, walnuts and goat cheese
