Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cups milk
  • ½ cup soda water (optional)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • pinch of salt
  • oil for frying (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add egg, milk, soda water, and vegetable oil and stir to form a smooth batter.
  • Heat the 10-inch skillet and when the pan is hot, add 2 drops of oil.
  • Use a small ladle to add batter to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin, layer, rotating pan as needed to cover.
  • Cook for 1 minute on the first side and ½ minute on the second side or until the crepe is lightly browned. Remove and keep warm while cooking the rest of the crepes. Add 1-2 drops of oil before cooking each crepe.
  • Fill with any combination of fruit preserves, like strawberry jam, apricot jam. Also sweet cheese, or simply sugar powder. etc., and roll into triangles.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

1. Soda water is optional but helps the crepe to be soft. If you don't have soda water you can use mineral water, but don't forget to put 1 tsp of baking soda 
2. Fill the crepes as you wish. If you want to taste the traditional Hungarian style you can use strawberry or apricot jam, sweet cottage cheese, or simply granulated sugar. 
But you can use your imagination, fill it how you wish. Nutella, whipped cream, fresh fruit, sugary ground walnuts, or whatever matches your taste.
