Hungarian Layered Crêpes (Rakott Palacsinták)

===================

In a previous article I described how to make basic Hungarian crêpes and then how to finish them as crêpes a la Gundel and crêpes Suzette. In this hub I will explain how to finish them as sour-cream pancakes and pancakes with apple meringue. Both of these recipes are based on ones given by George Lang in his classic cookbook Cuisine of Hungary .

------------------------------

I have modified the recipes and cooking instructions to suit my personal taste and cooking methods. For example, the original recipe for sour-cream pancakes uses two stale rolls peeled and crumbled. I prefer using Panko bread crumbs because of their uniformity and ease of use. A number of other modifications have also been made.

===================

Crêpes with Apple Meringue

Again you begin with a batch of 10-12 basic crepes. Next you make a batch of spreadable applesauce. Using an eight-inch circular cake pan, you alternate layers of crepes and applesauce, finishing with a crepe. Finally, you spread the meringue over the top and bake in a 300 F oven.

  2. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan.
  3. Add the apples and sprinkle them with the sugar and cinnamon.
  4. When the apples get soft, add one tablespoon of the lemon juice and mash them with a fork or potato masher to form a lumpy but spreadable sauce.
  5. Using an eight-inch in diameter buttered baking dish, alternate layers of crepe and thinly spread applesauce finishing up with a crepe on top.
