My Hungarian grandma, Irena, has made this palacsinta (Hungarian crêpes) recipe for us ever since we were kids. The crêpes are certainly not health food, but maybe one of the tastiest things you'll ever eat! Make them for breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup club soda
0.5 cups vegetable oil
1 pinch salt

Instructions

1

Combine flour and eggs; mix until smooth. Add milk, club soda, vegetable oil, and salt; mix to combine. Refrigerate batter 8 hours to overnight.
2

Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Remove batter from refrigerator; mix well. Pour ¼ cup batter into the skillet; cook about 1 minute. Flip crêpe; cook until golden brown, about 1 minute more. Transfer crêpe to a sheet of waxed paper. Repeat with remaining batter, stacking crêpes separated by waxed paper.
3

Combine almonds, ½ cup sugar, milk, rum, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; cook and stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved and filling is creamy. Cool slightly before filling crêpes.
4

Combine ½ cup sugar, chocolate, and water in a saucepan over low heat; cook just until chocolate melts. Off heat, add margarine, stirring topping until melted and combined.
5

Spread 1 heaping tablespoon almond filling onto each crêpe. Roll up to enclose; place on a platter. (You will have 10 to 15 crêpes total, depending on their size.) Pour chocolate topping over rolled crêpes. Warm the platter in a microwave for about 30 seconds before serving if desired.
