Czech breakfast pancakes ala Martin / Jogurtove livance dle Martina

Martin’s yogurt breakfast pancakes – Czech style

Martin was born in Prague and since 1978 he has been living in the US. He married an American lady named Kathleen (who is also the co-creator of this magical recipe) and have 2 wonderful kids together. His blog called “O Americe” (“About America”) is written strictly in Czech. Why?  Martin gets to express himself in his native language, and  his non-English speaking Czech friends and family  can learn more about the American ways. Through his blog he found a  virtual way how to connect with his unforgettable motherland.

For those of you who would like a less fattening version of my recipe on livance (pancakes) here is Martin’s healthy version:

CZ: Ochutnejte Martinovy zdrave jogurtove livance! Ja jsem jiz jeden podobny recept kdysi rano publikovala, ale nebyl udelany z jogurtu, ale z tucne cream cheese. Aby vam ty livance vice chutnaly, tady je neco malo o jejich tvurci – Martinovi (vynato z jeho blogu zvanem “O Americe”): ‘Narodil jsem se v Praze, ročník 57. Od roku 1978 žiju v USA, díky velkorysosti americké vlády která tehdy nabízela podmínečné přistěhovaní lidem z Východního Bloku.
Ženatý od roku 1981, v míchaném manželství Čecha a Američanky (love ya, babe), dvě děti. Bloguju abych si užil češtiny, podělil se o dojmy a názory, a měl jakési virtuální spojení na starou vlast.’
