Today’s pancake is typical of the the Baltic and – even though they call it a pancake – the soft batter is almost thin enough to call a crêpe. Latvians love adding spiced apples to their pancakes. To be totally traditional, be sure to serve them with yogurt and a healthy drizzle of honey.

Instructions
- In a small bowl mix the apples with cinnamon, cardamom and sugar.
- Mix eggs and flour together until a lump-free paste forms.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and butter until the batter takes on the consistency of gravy – thinner than pancakes, but thicker than crêpes.
- Add the apples.
- Cook the apple pancakes in a buttered skillet on both sides until golden. Apples this size will still have a little crunch to them when the pancakes are done.
