Hash browns are a characteristic dish of Russian cuisine, which the hostess will be able to help out more than once, when you need to quickly prepare a decent treat for the guests. There are many recipes for making pancakes, they are baked not only from wheat flour, but also from oatmeal or buckwheat. A special group consists of vegetable and cereal pancakes. But today we will tell you how to make pancakes in milk.
To begin, consider one of the simplest recipes. The fritters cooked in this way are hearty, tasty and beautiful, and it takes about fifteen to twenty minutes to cook.
So, a simple recipe for pancakes in milk. We need two glasses of milk, about four hundred grams of flour, two medium eggs, sugar, a little salt and butter.
Milk for making dough should be warm, so it needs to be slightly warmed up. Dissolve salt and sugar in milk (to taste), then add a spoonful of melted butter and beaten eggs. It remains to add the flour, add it gradually, kneading the dough well. We need the consistency of the resulting semi-finished product to resemble thick sour cream, that is, if you scoop up the dough with a spoon, then it should slowly “slip” and not drain.
You need to bake pancakes in heated oil, it is best to use a cast-iron frying pan or dishes with a modern non-stick coating. The dough is laid out in butter with a spoon, pancakes are fried over moderate heat on both sides.
Using the recipe for pancakes in milk, you can quickly cook breakfast or just a snack for tea. You can serve pancakes with sour cream or something sweet - honey, jam or condensed milk.
You can cook pancakes with the addition of various fruits. Here, for example, is how banana pancakes are baked. For a glass of milk you need to take a glass or a little more flour, two boats of sugar, a teaspoon of baking powder, a pinch of salt and cinnamon, two ripe bananas.
This recipe for pancakes in milk allows you to make reasonable replacements, for example, bananas can be replaced with apples or strawberries. Mix the dry ingredients of the recipe (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon) in a bowl. We make mashed potatoes from bananas, ripe fruits just enough to knead with a fork or you can use a blender. Mix fruit puree with milk, and then combine this delicious smoothie with a dry mix. As a result, the dough should have a fairly thick consistency. If necessary, you can add a little more flour (if the dough turned out liquid) or milk (if, on the contrary, it turned out too thick dough). You need to bake such banana pancakes as usual.
Do not like sweets? No problem! Fritters can be made and snack bars. For example, here is a recipe for pancakes in milk with cheese. For one and a half glasses of milk, we need two glasses of flour, a couple of eggs, two hundred and fifty grams of Dutch or any other hard cheese, fifty grams of butter and salt to taste.
Grind the yolks with salt, then add milk, melted butter and flour to them. Knead the dough on the fritters. Cheese is cut into thin square slices. We start baking fritters. We spread them with a spoon in a pan, and on top in the raw dough, we gently squeeze a slice of cheese. Next, bake pancakes, as usual. By the way, in the same way you can bake snack fritters with ham or boiled sausage.
But if you want to make magnificent pancakes on milk, then the dough needs to be prepared using yeast.
We heat two cups of milk so that it becomes warm (not hot!), Dilute a teaspoon (with a hill) of dried yeast and a spoonful of sugar in the milk. Leave this mass for fifteen minutes, and meanwhile, beat the egg with a pinch of salt and a spoonful of vegetable oil and sift three cups of flour. When the yeast rises a little, add the egg-oil mixture to them and begin to gradually pour the flour. Knead the dough, achieving a homogeneous consistency. Then you need to cover the dough with a napkin and let it stand for a couple of hours to make it come up. When bubbles appear on the surface of the dough, and it itself doubles in volume, you can start baking pancakes. It is not necessary to mix the dough before baking, otherwise it will settle. Bake yeast pancakes on a moderate fire, turning over as browning. Such lush pancakes can be served with sweet sauces or as a snack with tomato, cheese or any other sauce.
