How to make pancakes - 3 step by step recipes

Everyone knows from childhood about this delicacy, but the history of the origin of the dish remains a huge secret for many.

How to make pancakes in milk

Pancakes are a simple dish in terms of cooking. According to tradition, the pancake dough is kneaded on sour cream, adding buckwheat flour. Some recipes use yeast dough.

Buying buckwheat flour is not difficult, but it is poorly kneaded and it has to be mixed with wheat flour in equal proportions. It takes several hours to prepare the yeast dough.

Sour cream in traditional recipes is included unreasonably, since the finished goodies are very satisfying. And given the fact that people eat them with sweet sauces, they become heavy and fatty foods.

• egg 2 pcs
• flour 200 g
• milk 500 ml
• vegetable oil 30 ml
• salt 2 g
• sugar 5 g

• Mix eggs, sugar and salt in a bowl. Two eggs are enough. If you take more eggs, the dough will turn out rubber. Pour milk into a bowl with eggs and beat thoroughly with a mixer after mixing.
• Add the sifted flour in small portions. This technique will saturate the flour with oxygen, so pancakes will turn out with a delicate and soft structure. The end result is a dough whose consistency resembles liquid sour cream.
• Some chefs add baking powder or baking soda. According to them, these ingredients increase the quality of the finished dish. In my recipe they are not provided, because they do not bring much effect.
• Lastly add oil and mix everything. Thanks to the butter, the pancakes will not stick to the pan during baking, which will facilitate turning and cooking.
• Preheat the pan. Pour a little salt into the pan, and after darkening remove with a cloth and add a little oil.
• Using a ladle, pour part of the dough into a pan. Immediately, slightly tilting the pan to the sides, distribute evenly over the working surface. Literally after 2 minutes, turn the pancake over with a wooden spatula.
• After another 2 minutes, put on a plate. Similarly, bake all the pancakes. I recommend laying it out on a greased dish. Cover with a lid.

Pancake History

The pancakes were invented by the Eastern Slavs, so they are considered a dish of Russian cuisine. Other versions do not agree with this opinion and are ready to challenge it.

According to the Chinese, the birthplace of pancakes is China. In reality, Chinese pancakes resemble ordinary cakes, and onions are part of the recipe. There is another controversial opinion, according to which the birthplace of pancakes is Ancient Egypt. But, the Egyptians used different technology and ingredients.

On the territory of modern Russia, even before the formation of the state, people prepared pancakes for the holidays. With their help, sacrifices were performed and fortunetelling. Slavic cooking technology is practically no different from the current version. The only exception is the filling.

The British liked the pancakes, who experimented with the ingredients and achieved a fantastic result.

The Germans and French cook very thin pancakes. This is due to the desire to save the figure. At the same time, they generously fill the dish with cognac and other alcoholic drinks.

Eastern European pancakes are large. Even one Czech, Slovak or Romanian pancake is enough for saturation.

The pancakes that are cooked in South America are the thickest. They are served at the table with sour and bitter sauce. The dough is based on cornmeal and butter cream.
