Instruction manual
1
Mix eggs with sugar in a deep bowl or pan, add a pinch of salt, a baking powder from a bag. It is better to use for this purpose not a mixer, but an ordinary manual whisk.
2
Pour milk slightly warmed up in the microwave to the mixture, mix all the components.
3
Pour the sifted flour into the pan, with a mixer or whisk, knead not too liquid, but not too thick dough. Stir in a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Leave on the table for about 15 minutes.
4
Now you need to decide what kind of pancakes you want to bake - ordinary light ones with chocolate "peas" on the surface or chocolate ones with white circles. From the choice will depend on which dough should be made in a larger volume - brown or white. If you decide to bake unusual chocolate pancakes, you need to pour some contents from the pan into a cup, and pour cocoa into the main volume, mix. You can do it easier - make the same amount of brown and light dough, from each bowl, draw in 2 syringes a mixture for drawing, slightly thickening it with flour.
5
Dial the white dough gently into a volume syringe without a needle, with its help any patterns on the surface can be easily drawn.
6
Heat a thick-bottomed pan (preferably cast iron), grease it with oil. Pour chocolate dough with a thin layer with a cooker, wait 10 seconds, so that the surface dries slightly. Squeeze out "pea" of any size from the syringe, close the pan with a lid.
7
Bake the pancake over low heat until cooked, put it on a plate with the pattern up to cool. Repeat this with each pancake until the dough is over. You can bake both chocolate and ordinary pancakes at the same time, roll them with tubes or triangles, and arrange them beautifully on a plate.
8
Tea can be served with jam, fresh berries, sour cream or condensed milk.
note
The products needed to knead regular and chocolate pancake dough should be at room temperature. Therefore, milk and eggs must be removed in advance from the refrigerator, left on the kitchen table for a while.
Useful advice
In order for round “peas” or another pattern (stripes, zigzags) on the surface to be smooth, beautiful, clear, the dough for them should be thicker than for ordinary pancakes. And if cocoa itself adds density to the chocolate dough, then in white it is worth adding more flour so that it does not spread too much, it was about the same as for pancakes. The main thing is that it exits through the hole in the syringe without any problems.
