Smažený Pancake
Smažený pancake is a classic Czech fried pancake, deep-fried until golden brown and served with powdered sugar and jam. It is one of the traditional desserts of Czech cuisine, especially popular in rural areas, often prepared for festive occasions or family gatherings. The dough, made from simple ingredients, is easy to prepare, and thanks to the frying method, it has a crispy exterior and a soft interior. Traditional versions are usually eaten with apricot jam or honey, but any fruit topping is a perfect choice for an authentic Czech dessert.
