Pancakes - this is the dish that has a huge number of fans. Both children and adults love him, and in a variety of ways.

One of the options for this much-loved dish is rye flour pancakes. There are quite a few recipes. Let's look at them, but first we’ll look at the general rules for preparing food.
Cooking dough
No matter what flour is used in pancakes. Any test can be difficult. In order to successfully cook a meal, housewives should be aware of the most common problems. One of them is insufficient softness, splendor in thick pancakes and lack of delicacy in thin pancakes. A similar problem is observed in cases where the dough is not cooked correctly.
To make the pancakes perfect, experienced housewives advise sifting flour before kneading the dough. Thanks to this process, it becomes more airy, as it is saturated with oxygen. From it it is easier to knead the dough. It is also advised to add soda or baking powder to the pancake mix, and after mixing, leave the dough on the table at least 15 minutes before baking.
Some hostesses recommend adding a spoonful of brandy to the dough. Their observations showed that this ingredient affects the density of pancakes from unleavened dough, makes them more airy, gives them an unusual, pleasant taste and aroma.
Baking pan preparation
The second frequently occurring problem is pancakes (from rye flour or any other) are poorly removed from the pan, stick to it, torn. In order not to encounter such, experienced chefs add sunflower oil to the dough. Only a few tablespoons are required. Next, the pan is once greased with oil. This is done just in case, so that the first pancake is not lumpy, as in the famous proverb. Before baking the following items, the pan is no longer oiled.
Housewives who want to get pancakes that are unusual in taste can grease the pan with a piece of lard. However, when choosing this “shaving brush”, it is important to remember that the dish will ultimately significantly increase calorie content. Obese people are not recommended to eat such pancakes. For problems with excess weight, it is best to use soy or olive oil. Both of these ingredients contribute to fat burning.
