Since ancient times, pancakes have become a traditional dish for many families. Due to their versatility, they are served perfectly both for breakfast and dessert, and can also be an excellent treat for guests. One of the advantages of this delicacy is the minimum number of ingredients for cooking, which becomes an advantage over other types of desserts. There are several options for making lush fritters that can suit everyone to their taste.
One of the most common recipes is kefir pancakes. Pour sugar and salt into the dishes, then beat the egg in and stir well with a whisk. Next, mix warm kefir with room temperature water. Following this, shake the resulting liquid thoroughly until a foam forms. Sift flour and pour into the dough. Then the dough is mixed so that there are no lumps. The consistency should be thick and viscous.
Kefir fritters are well suited for breakfast, as they do not require much time to cook.
Next, add soda and mix again, as this is the secret of lush fritters. If you first add soda to warm kefir, when preparing the dough, all the lifting force will weaken, the pancakes on the stove will be lush, but then they will lower and become flat.
After you should heat the pan, previously abundantly rubbing vegetable oil. Fry over medium heat. As soon as a golden crust appears, the pancakes should be turned over and covered with a lid. In the event that you do not like fatty foods, you need to put the pancakes on a paper towel and the excess fat will be absorbed. Sprinkle ready-made pancakes with powdered sugar. Usually lush pancakes are served with condensed milk, jam, jam or sour cream.
There is also a recipe for lush yeast fritters. First you need to choose a bowl with a large volume, since the dough during the fermentation process will double and there is a chance that it will “run away”. First prepare the dough. Warm the milk slightly to room temperature. Grind the yeast there, pour one tablespoon of sugar, salt on the tip of the knife, also sifted flour. Stir thoroughly until the dough is thick, slightly lumpy. It should slide from a spoon, and not pour. Then put the dough in a warm place for about an hour. As soon as the dough increases several times in volume and a mesh of bubbles appears, beat in the eggs and stir until a homogeneous mass is obtained. Let the test run for half an hour.
Yeast pancakes are great for serving for dessert.
Once the right time has passed, heat the pan pre-oiled with vegetable oil. Dampen the dough set spoon so that it does not drop. No need to mix. Grab the dough with a moist spoon along with the froth and spread in a preheated pan. Sauté the pancakes over medium heat until golden brown, flip over to the other side and cover with a lid. Fritters are cooked quickly, literally four to five minutes on each side, so you need to pay attention, otherwise they may burn. After frying, it is recommended to sprinkle fritters with sugar or powdered sugar. Served with sour cream or apple jam.
