Priya’s Versatile Recipes: Livance/Czech Yeasted Pancakes

You might have noticed that am running this week’s blogging marathon with Cook by Capital as theme. And i picked ‘P’, obviously after Paris, today’s capital i have picked is Prague Prague is Czech Republic’s capital and i seriously want to visit this beautiful capital atleast once in my lifetime. And i have been looking for an opportunity to visit this place though its not far from France. Since i picked Prague, i googled for some interesting dishes from this amazing country, many Czech dishes are loaded with meats. However i looked for something different, definitely a hassle free dish from this cuisine. While googling, i crossed Livance, a fabulous Czech yeasted pancakes. Livance may sounds as much as like American Pancakes but trust me these pancakes are dangerously delicious.

Livance, these spongy yeasted pancakes are just prefect to kick start a day. This Czech pancakes are small, sweetened spongy cake which are usually served with sweet toppings like jam, fruit sauces, whipped cream or else simply with chopped mixed fruits. This pancakes are seriously very easy to prepare and quite very simple. Usually in Czech Repbulic, Livances are cooked in specific pans, however you can still cook this Czech pan. Since this batter calls for yeast, you can prepare this pancake batter earlier a day. Wrap them well and arrange the batter in fridge, leave it to rise in fridge for overnight. Next day morning, bring the batter to room temperature and makes these spongy yeasted pancakes for your breakfast.
