I definitely think so, Tilda! I have never tried to make them myself since I don't have the mold.
Yesterday I made waffles and of course I used baking powder. They turned out delicious. (and for Sleuth - yes, I did have maple syrup from Canada on them)
My grandma used to make
palačinke, a specialty of eastern Europe known in Austria/Germany as
palatschinken, in eastern Italy as
panicelli, which is a sort of
crepe, but smaller in size in with a lighter batter. They can be eaten folded in 4 or rolled up as cannelloni. In the former case, you eat them with a fork and a knife, in the latter, with your hands.
They are about the size of a plate and can be stuffed with either jam or nutella or a cream spread with ricotta, sugar and lemon (that is the one my great-grandma did). Sometimes they are served with beaten cream, a scoop of ice cream, fresh fruits, etc.
They don't call for baking powder since they have to stay flat, but as a trick to make them lighter and melting in your mouth, you can add seltz or beer or water with gas to make them fluffier. They are fried in butter.
When eaten with your hands, you have to use your little finger to keep the "tail" upward so that the filling doesn't spill out. I wasn't able to find a picture because I can't google in the relevant languages (Croatian, German). I remember that even in Prague they had something like this, I am sure Esteban can fill us in.
I prepare them with a simple crepe pan (I actually use two and juggle between them to make them faster).
