If you have mastered the art of palacsinta making, you will have no problem making rakott palacsinta. I read somewhere you are supposed to eat this chilled. Hmm. There is something unnatural about that. We never waited, the minute I poured the chocolate sauce on the top we dug in. Oh it is good cold too, but we love it hot off the pan. The recipe is very simple. Make the crape batter first and set it aside. It’s good for the batter to rest on the counter. Then you make the chocolate sauce and set that aside. Then you ground the walnuts, and finally set out the apricot jam. A crepe pan or a small non-stick fry pan is essential for this undertaking.
