Besides eggs, flour (this time potato flour), spices, and potatoes in the Czech Republic, they also add a bit of smoked bacon and milk. These ingredients elevate our vegetable pancakes to a new level: they are incredibly crispy, slightly saltier, and more prosperous than usual. They undoubtedly taste best in a savoury form, so instead of adding a dollop of sour cream on top, opt for a sauce. Maybe chanterelle sauce? After all, the season for these tasty mushrooms will soon start. In any case, we leave this decision to you!
