Healthy Hungarian Crêpe
Hungarian crêpes, known as palacsinta, look and sound delicious with their traditional ingredients including eggs, flour and milk with additions such as apricot jam, berries, cottage cheese and icing sugar. I’ve upped the ante on my variation of the Hungarian crêpe with coconut yoghurt, berries and toasted almonds and made them gluten-free with an almond, arrowroot and buckwheat flour.
