Obsessed with pancakes

When I was little, growing up in Lima, a favorite destination for a weekend treat was Palachinke, a pancake place that served huge, thin pancakes. I always asked for banana pancakes and was never able to finish.

Flash forward to last week, when Mom was staying with me and we headed up to IKEA – we had breakfast there and I enjoyed their thin pancakes:
I learned from a quick Google search that “palacinke” (as well as various derivations of the word) is the Eastern European name for these crepes.

As you can imagine, I am determined to make these at home because going to IKEA for breakfast every day is just not feasible. Tempting, but not feasible. I did get a jar of lingonberry jam because it was so delicious!

  2. I've never had thin pancakes before, but they sound delicious! Lucky for me I also live by an IKEA, but I may even get crazy and try these at home. I love lingonberries too–Yum. Thanks Clod! (I know I'm only amusing myself by using your nickname again, but I can't stop. I think it's adorable.)
