Plum, Cinnamon and Poppy Seed Lívance (Czech Pancakes)

·
2 servings
  1. Simmer the plums

    Halve the plums, remove the stones and cut into smaller pieces. Put them in a pot, add about 1 dl of water, the cinnamon and roughly 4 tablespoons of cane sugar. You can always add more sugar to the plum sauce later. Cover with a lid and let it simmer at a temperature just above medium.

  2. Make the batter

    Mix the eggs with the melted butter and milk, whisking well. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with salt, baking powder and sugar. Stir this into the liquid mixture and whisk into a smooth, lump-free batter.

  3. Fry the lívance

    Fry the pancakes. This amount of batter should make about twenty lívance.

  4. Keep an eye on the plums

    While frying the pancakes, check on the plums in the pot from time to time and give them a stir. If the sauce seems too thin, turn up the heat and let the excess liquid boil off. You can also add a bit more sugar to taste at this stage.

  5. Serving

    Serving

    Spoon the plum sauce over the lívance, top with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of poppy seeds. For an extra touch, drizzle with melted chocolate.

  6. You're done!
