Classic pancake (40 pieces)

- 4 eggs
- 400 g of flour
- 1 liter of milk
- 1 teaspoon salt

Preparation:

Gundel pancake (12 pancakes)
Walnut filling:
- 20 dkg ground walnuts
- 2 dl hot milk

- 1 tablespoon candied orange cubes
- 1 tablespoon rum
Chocolate sauce
- 20 dkg of sugar
- 80 g of dark chocolate
- 2 dl of water

Preparation: As Hellovidék reports, for the filling, we boil the milk with the sugar, oranges, raisins, and then boil the ground walnuts with it. After it has cooled, we fill the pancakes that we tuck into half and then into quarters. For the chocolate sauce, we boil the water with the sugar, add the dark chocolate cubes and the rum at the end. If we cannot consume alcohol, the rum should be boiled with the water for 3-5 minutes. The chocolate sauce is poured on the top of the pancake as the last step.

North Americans eat pancakes. Thick heavy somewhat fluffy circles with maple syrup over top. Hungarians and other Europeans eat crepes. Thin, flexible, flavourful circles that need almost nothing to make them tastier AND can also be used to roll up left over turkey etc into as part of a main course.
