Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup of the sugar.
- Add the milk, sparkling water, and eggs to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
- Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes to an hour.
- While the batter is resting, finely chop the walnuts.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, and the lemon juice. Stir well to combine and set aside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat.
- Lightly coat the pan with a small amount of butter.
- Pour a small ladleful of batter onto the pan, swirling it around to form a thin, even layer.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes or until the edges start to lift from the pan and the bottom is golden brown.
- Flip the pancake and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the pancake to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking the pancakes on the plate.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer.
- Remove from the heat and add the dark chocolate. Stir until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the rum to combine.
- Spread a thin layer of the walnut filling over each pancake.
- Roll each pancake tightly and place on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the warm chocolate sauce over the rolled pancakes.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Palacsinta with walnut filling and chocolate sauce!
Tips:
- When mixing the batter, make sure not to overmix it to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. A few lumps are okay.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to ensure that the pancakes do not stick, and lightly grease it with butter or oil before pouring the batter.
- For a more pronounced flavor, allow the batter to rest for 15-20 minutes before cooking the pancakes.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor.
- When melting the dark chocolate for the cream, do it on low heat or use a double boiler to prevent burning.
- Add the rum to the chocolate mixture after removing it from heat to preserve its flavor.
