Palačinke (Pancakes)

My mum used to make these all the time, it's a croatian recipe, and I just love them.
I suppose you could say they're a mixture between pancakes and crepes, just rolled up. 
I would usually put sugar, vanillin sugar or strawberry/raspberry jam on it, but other favourites in our house are lemon, lemon & sugar and nutella of course.
Ingredients:
  • 200g flour
  • 200ml milk
  • 200ml sparkling water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil or butter
  • pinch of salt
Method:
  1. Add all ingredients into a bowl and stir well until all mixed together.
  2. Let pancake mix cool in fridge for 30 minutes
  3. Heat frying pan 
  4. Add a little bit of butter to pan and melt
  5. Use a small/medium ladle and add mix to frying pan, swirling pan so the base of frying pan is just covered with the mixture.
  6. Fry until one side is golden, then turn over and fry other side until golden.
  7. Put on plate and cover with sugar or anything you like.
  8. Roll pancake up from one side to the other.
  9. Fold both ends up to eat. Enjoy!
