3. Pufance ''Pufance'' are made for at least 5 generations. They're so delicious, easy to make and you can make them in a short time. They look like pancakes, but they are made just by flour and potatoes and they are salted. They are usually baked on older types of stoves.

4. Preparation and ingredients Grandmothers, Anna Bendíková and Cecília Valachová, have helped us with the preparation. We needed: ● Potatoes ● Flour ● Salt ● Butter ● Garlic

5. At first we boil the whole potatoes in salted water for their softness. Then we peel them.

6. We mash the potatoes on a simple grinder. Then we add flour into the potatoes. We don't have to put any salt into it because we had boiled the potatoes in salted water.

7. We make the dough with hands and form it into the shape of a loaf. The dough shouldn't be too hard. If it's too soft just put some more flour into the dough.

8. We spread the created dough softly into the shape of a roll with our hands. The average size of the roll should be about 5 cm.

9. We cut the roll of dough into small pieces with the thickness about 2 cm. We need a longer knife, it can be edgeless.

10. We roll the individual pieces to thin slices into the shape of a circle. We must be careful that the dough wouldn't stick to the board. If it is sticky, just put some more flour on the board.

11. Put the spreaded dough - the ''pufanec'' – carefully onto the cooker (or to a dry non- greasy pan). Bake the ''pufanec'' on both sides and keep turning it carefully with a knife.

12. Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the crushed garlic. Grease the ''pufanec'' with that mixture.

13. Fold the ''pufanec'' to the shape of a triangle or a roll.

14. The food is finished and it's ready to serve. The ''pufanec'' can be sweet, too. The process is the same, they're just stuffed with plum jam, curd or poppy.
