Spicy Country Pancakes

Dienia B.'s Note:

I was looking for yeast pancakes because my MIL who is Czech and 90 couldn't remember how she made them. Evie, her niece in law, found two for me. Thanks Evie.

These are heavenly. I love a yeast pancake and the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg takes these to a new level. An incredibly warming and welcome addition to our Sunday morning breakfast table.

My seven-year-old's review: "I love these pancakes - I want to marry them!" That about says it all, I think. :) Other family members were not willing to go to the altar with the pancakes, but they enjoyed them very much. We served them with strawberries and blackberries and maple syrup. Thanks for posting!

We thoroughly enjoyed these for brunch today with toni gifford's Bananas Ghana Recipe #134996 - made with bananas and mangoes - and a generous dollop of Greek yoghurt. A light and flavoursome pancake. Loved the cinnamon and nutmeg in these. Thank you, dienia: I'll certainly make these again.
