How to Make Czech Svitek
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup farina (cream of wheat), 1 cup water, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Whisk the ingredients rapidly until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the melted butter into the farina mixture and stir rapidly to combine.
- Melt an additional 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the batter into the skillet and cook, lifting the edges periodically with a spatula to check for browning. Cook until the bottom is a rich golden brown.
- Once the bottom is golden brown, lift the edge with a spatula and tilt the skillet to allow any remaining liquid to flow underneath.
- Repeat on both sides, allowing an additional minute or two for the liquid to cook and brown. The total cooking time for each side should be approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the svitek. (Easiest method: place a large plate over the skillet and, holding the plate firmly, invert the skillet onto the plate.)
- Add another 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet.
- Slide the svitek back into the skillet, browned-side up, to brown the other side to your desired level of doneness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! You can adjust the browning to your preference – lighter or darker.
