The book gives 8 egg yolks and no other amounts. We use 4 yolks with 250 g flour; the other amounts are ours.

Method

5 soļi
  1. Mix the flour, dried yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. (Fresh yeast: crumble it into the lukewarm cream first and leave for 10 minutes.) Whisk the yolks with the cream and melted butter, then whisk into the flour until smooth. Stir in the currants. The batter should be like thick pouring cream.
  2. Cover and leave in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, until bubbly and risen.
  3. Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little butter. Pour in about 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake, to make rounds of 8–10 cm. Fry for 1½–2 minutes, until bubbles have set on top and the underside is nicely brown, then turn and fry for about a minute more. Add a little butter for each batch.
  4. Serve them one of the book's two ways: stacked in a dish with sugar sprinkled between the layers, or each spread with jam, sprinkled with sugar and rolled up.
  5. With apples: peel and core the apples and cut them into thin slices. Press one or two slices into each pancake as soon as you have poured it, then fry as above.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book beats very fine flour, the yolks of 8 eggs, sweet cream, melted butter, washed currants and yeast into a thin batter, leaves it in a warm place until it starts to rise, fries spoonfuls in butter until nicely brown on both sides, and either stacks them in a dish with sugar between them or spreads them with berry jam, sprinkles them with sugar and rolls them up. Apple slices can be put in the batter. The amounts, salt, sugar in the batter, size and times are ours.

The names

plinces comes from the Baltic German Plinsen (from Russian blini). Pantogs is a dialect word for an egg dish or omelette; with so many yolks, these pancakes are rich and eggy.

Rising

the book fries them as soon as the batter "starts to rise"; don't wait until it is fully risen, or the pancakes will be full of large holes.
