(English) Rauga pankūkas (Latvian Yeast Pancakes)

Breakfast

Periodically, I post a recipe from Latviešu ēdieni by Ņina Masiļune.

Yeast pancakes, or rauga pankūkas as they’re known in Latvian, are similar to regular pancakes, except for two important differences: first, in place of baking powder, yeast is used, and second, no fat is used in the batter at all. While you can put this together the morning you wish to have it, we found that involved getting up too early, so after allowing the pancakes to rise for 90 minutes, we put it in the fridge overnight. The results are a fluffy, beautifully thick pancake with great flavor, perfect with preserves or maple syrup.
