Traditional pancakes
Here we bake pancakes for Maslenitsa according to different recipes. We draw attention to the traditional recipe that every housewife knows, both experienced and beginner. It is worth noting that in many cafes this option is used mainly on the basis of choux pastry.
Cooking method:
- It is necessary to use the highest quality whole grain flour. Then you need to sift it. This is required so that it can be well saturated with oxygen.
- Next, add a spoonful of salt and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the flour. It is worth noting that you can add a little more sugar.
- Then you need to pour in warm milk, preferably fresh, of course, and not yesterday’s. But even from sour milk you can get very tasty pancakes! Next, you need to mix the resulting mass well with a kitchen whisk.
- Now you can drive in the chicken eggs. And now you need to mix the liquid in this way so that it turns out without a single lump and clots of flour. To do this, you must not move on to the next step until you are one hundred percent sure that there are no lumps.
- The dough should not be very thick. You need to add vegetable oil to it or melt a piece of butter.
Interesting fact! After adding vegetable oil to the dough, the pancakes are slightly drier. But if you add butter, they will be rich and moist.
- In addition, the whole mass must be thoroughly mixed again and brewed in boiling water, and then everything must be mixed well again.
- Depending on the preferred consistency, thicker or, conversely, thinner, dilute the dough at your own discretion with two or three glasses of water. The thickness of the pancakes you bake will depend on this proportion. If you want the pancakes to be thin, make the dough thin; if thick, make it thick. Then set the dough aside for a few minutes, covering it with a towel or cling film.
- Then you can start baking pancakes. First you need to heat the pan. For these purposes, it is better to use a cast-iron pan with a thick bottom. Then you need to pour the dough into the pan so that it spreads as evenly as possible over the entire diameter. Before baking pancakes, grease the pan with oil and heat it well. Then the pancakes can be fried on a dry surface.
- When you notice that the edges of the pancake have begun to redden, you need to take a spatula and carefully turn it over to the other side. Remember that the second side of the pancake will bake much faster than the first. Then you need to stack all the baked pancakes on a plate. You can also grease each pancake separately.
- You can also decorate each pancake with sweet syrup, condensed milk or jam. We wish you bon appetit!
Classic recipe for thin pancakes with milk
Ruddy and tender, thin and tasty! This feature should be characteristic of the traditional recipe of this dish. They are delicious: with jam, honey, sour cream. We will need:
- Milk – 200 ml.
- Eggs – 2 pcs.
- Vegetable oil – 3 tablespoons.
- Boiling water – 200 ml.
- Flour – 230 grams.
- Salt – 1 teaspoon.
- Sugar – 1.5 tablespoons.
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon.
Cooking method:
You need to take clean and dry dishes. Then crack 2 chicken eggs into it and add sugar and salt. Since I liked the sweet version most, I add a little more sugar so that they are not too bland. But if you want to cook pancakes with meat, sprinkle in less sugar.
Next, you need to beat the egg mass with a whisk until a film forms on the surface. Then pour warmed milk into this mass and beat this mass well with a whisk, gradually adding flour.
This procedure must be carried out carefully and without haste. In addition, the flour must first be sifted through a sieve.
It is worth mixing this egg mixture until it is very thick. The thicker the dough you dilute, the more water you will need to thin it. And of course you will be able to bake more pancakes. So our dough has become tight in its consistency. And now you can brew it in boiling water and stir constantly until it becomes liquid like cream. Then you can start baking pancakes. To do this, first heat the pan well and grease the bottom with oil. And only after this procedure, start gently pouring the dough onto the bottom of the pan with a ladle. To do this, make circular movements so that the whole mass is evenly distributed over the pan in a thin layer.
On a note! Baking pancakes is very interesting and enjoyable.
When all the pancakes are ready, call your friends and family and start the meal.
Delicious yeast recipe
If you decide to bake delicious pancakes for Maslenitsa, our recipes will be very valuable for you. Maybe you are a fan of something really very original and not simple. You prefer something openwork and lacy. If so, you will definitely love this wonderful bubble pancake recipe.
We need:
- Milk – 3 cups.
- Dried yeast – 10 g or one sachet.
- Chicken eggs – 3 pcs.
- Flour – 500 gr.
- Salt – 1 teaspoon.
- Vegetable oil – 2 tablespoons.
- Sugar – 2 tablespoons.
Cooking method:
Since our recipe will use yeast, you first need to make a dough starter. For this reason, you must first heat the milk so that it is warm. Then you need to divide it exactly in half. Then add dry yeast to half of the milk. For them to start working, you need to add sugar and salt.
Then you need to cover the dishes with a lid and set aside so that our mixture stands a little and a cap appears on it. In time it will take 10 minutes.
After this time, you need to knead the dough and add eggs and flour to it. Mix the mass thoroughly and pour the rest of the milk into it so that the consistency becomes thinner and acquires a homogeneous structure. At the end of this procedure, you need to add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to the mass.
Next, you need to let the prepared dough rise three or four times in a warm place.
It is important to know! Remember to cover the dough with a lid so that it does not dry out.
Before you start frying pancakes, grease the pan with butter and heat it well. Try to fry the pancakes over medium heat.
Without a doubt, most people have a problem removing the pancake from the pan. Perhaps you simply did not heat the pan well, or it is simply not the kind you need for frying pancakes. In addition, most likely you simply forgot to put in the dough the secret ingredient that helps to avoid sticking.
Pancakes for Maslenitsa 2018 – recipe with fillings
Good. Together with you we have gathered a large stack of pancakes. And now let’s think about what we can stuff our pancakes with? And the filling can be very diverse – from meat to sweet. But before this procedure, we will introduce you to another interesting option, which is also classic with the obligatory addition of soda.
Since our pancakes will be stuffed with meat, you need to add little sugar and layers to the dough so that they do not interfere with the stuffing.
We will need:
- Soda – 0.5 teaspoon.
- Milk – 500 ml.
- Melted butter – 1 tablespoon.
- Chicken egg – 3 pcs.
- Sugar and salt to taste.
Cooking method:
It is necessary to take a fairly deep container and crack the eggs into it. Then you need to mix them well with a kitchen whisk. Add sugar and salt to taste, throw soda into the mass.
Then you need to take a glass of cow’s milk and add it to the egg mass.
Next, in small portions you need to add the sifted flour and mix everything thoroughly so that no lumps form. After this kneading, you need to pour in the rest of the milk and the melted butter. Mix everything well again with a whisk. You should get a sticky mass. That’s exactly what we need. Then the dough should be set aside and steeped for 35-40 minutes. Then you can move on to the next step.
You need to take a frying pan or use a special pancake maker with low edges. When baking pancakes, the dough should be spread over the surface of the pan in a thin, even layer.
First you need to heat the pan well, and then grease with butter both the surface itself and the walls of the pan. This procedure should be performed flawlessly so that your first pancake does not turn out lumpy and does not stick to the bottom.
Here you have these beautiful bubbles.
There is no need to think that this is very difficult. Every business requires dexterity and skill. Try pouring the dough into the center of the pan and quickly turning it in a circular motion.
And after you have a large stack of pancakes, you can immediately start preparing the filling for them. It can be made with fruits. For example, cottage cheese and peach.
Alternatively, you can cut the apples into small pieces and mix them with honey, and then roll them into a roll.
You can also stuff pancakes with cottage cheese or curd. If you or your family members love sweets, chocolate and banana will be an excellent option for you.
Melt the chocolate in a water bath and cut the bananas into slices. Another great option would be a meat or bacon filling.
