Pancakes are a favorite childhood treat for each of us. Delicate, soft, delicate, buttery – these products melted in your mouth! And no one cooked them tastier than grandma. And all because true housewives knew several secrets of preparing this dessert. Let's reveal all the secrets of perfect pancakes.
So, here are 5 secrets useful for housewives, for whom every pancake up to the 20th is “lumpy”:
- choose kefir or medium-fat milk for the dough. If the fat content is high, the products will turn out thick and inelastic;
- Bring the dough structure to a liquid state, like drinking yogurt. If the dough is too thick, thin it with water;
- pour vegetable oil directly into the dough. Then you won’t have to grease the pan every time, which will speed up and simplify the process;
- Avoid too much sugar as it will cause the pancakes to burn. Or you can give up sugar altogether – just serve the treat with something sweet, for example, jam, preserves, condensed milk.
- for porosity and delicacy, add yeast to the dough, after diluting it in warm milk. If you can’t find yeast, you can replace it with baking powder.
That's it! Use these Soviet rules for making pancakes, and then your tea party will always be unforgettable. Now let’s reveal the classic recipe for making pancakes, like grandma’s:
