Racuchy or racuszki are pancakes which unlike naleśniki are some with some rising agent (baking powder or yeast), hence they are thicker. They are fried in hot oil and served topped with confectioner's sugar, fruit syrup or preserves. Esp. gopod with plum powidła. Anyone ever try them?
Any racuchy (raised pancake) fans?
My grandmother always made them for Wigilia. I don't even remember if I liked them or not, but I remember the intense smell of hand pressed canola oil she would fry them in.
My grandma also made them.... quite unique they were!!! Yummy!
They taste like "elephant ears"
What about bliny, buckwheat-flour pancakes? Ever eat them the Russian way with caviare and sour cream?
