The book gives 8 or more eggs, 1 spoon of fine sugar and, as a rescue, 3 more eggs; it gives no other amounts. We've used three quarters of the eggs.

Method

4 soļi
  1. Beat the eggs with the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, currants and lemon zest. Stir in the chopped apples, and the ground almonds if using.
  2. Melt 25 g butter in a frying pan over medium heat, add the breadcrumbs and fry, stirring, for 5–7 minutes until golden, dry and crisp. Stir them into the egg mixture. It should be thick, like a stiff batter; let it stand for 5 minutes so the crumbs soak up some egg.
  3. Wipe out the pan, set it over medium-low heat and melt the rest of the butter. Spread the mixture in the pan (24 cm) and cook gently for 8–10 minutes, until the underside is golden and the top is starting to set. A lid helps it set.
  4. Slide it onto a plate, invert the pan over it and turn the pancake back in. Cook the second side for 5–6 minutes, until golden and firm in the middle. Serve warm, sprinkled with a little sugar if you like.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

finely chopped peeled apples mixed into eggs beaten with a spoon of fine sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, small raisins and finely chopped lemon peel; "a good amount" of grated bread fried in butter until dry and hard, stirred in to make a thick batter, and the whole fried in butter. For a finer version the book adds pounded sweet almonds. The amounts, times and the way of turning are ours.

If it sticks

the book says to beat 3 eggs with a little water and pour them all round the edge of the pan. They run under the pancake and cook, which loosens it. With a non-stick pan you're unlikely to need this.

Apples

a firm, tart apple that keeps its shape (Antonovka, Cox or Granny Smith) works best.
