This is a fairly popular recipe among experienced housewives. It is promised that the pancakes will not only turn out delicate, holey, tasty and fragrant, but will not stick to the pan, will be easily and quickly turned over in one motion. Let's check.
Essential Products
It:
- low-fat kefir - 0.6 l;
- 120 ml of milk;
- salt - a pinch;
- granulated sugar - 3 tablespoons;
- two chicken eggs;
- a pinch of baking soda;
- 145 g flour.
As well as 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
How to cook
The first secret of these pancakes on kefir and milk is to heat the most important ingredient. Many housewives are surprised that, doing everything according to the prescription, do not get the proper result. Pancakes do not turn out openwork, holes do not appear in the baking process. The whole secret is that for the correct interaction of kefir and soda, the first product on the list should be slightly warmed up. It is in warm kefir that all the important and necessary processes for the formation of future pancake holes begin. In addition, the gluten of flour in a cold product will also not develop.
So, we heat the kefir in the microwave or directly on the open fire of the stove in a small saucepan. It is very important to constantly stir kefir so that it does not stick to the walls and does not stick. Try the product. Once it has become warm and tastes good, you can remove it from the fire. It is very important to catch that line when kefir has already warmed up, but has not yet begun to curl. Now pour granulated sugar and add a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.
Tip. If you have not yet decided what kind of filling your pancakes will be, then we recommend preparing pancakes with holes in kefir and milk of a neutral taste (a little sugar, a little salt). This will then serve them with jam and meat filling.
Add the eggs to kefir. Using a regular kitchen whisk, beat to a homogeneous consistency. There was flour. Before sending it to the bowl, do not forget to sift it. It is the flour saturated with air that will give the necessary holes in the pancakes, make them more magnificent and tender.
If when kneading pancakes on kefir and milk, the dough turns out to be too thick, then do not rush to spread it right away. For starters, experienced housewives are advised to add soda. As a rule, after adding this ingredient, the density of the dough subsides by itself.
We continue. With the help of freshly squeezed lemon juice, we extinguish soda. We send it to the dough. Add oil in the specified amount. Thanks to this additive, it will not be necessary to constantly lubricate the pan; the butter in the dough will not let pancakes stick. In addition, thanks to the oil, the product will be elastic and supple. As you know, thin openwork pancakes very often break during baking. Oil will help to avoid such a problem. Mix. You do not need to immediately wait for a heap of bubbles. Give the dough time to rest and walk up.
This recipe for pancakes in milk and kefir gives a surprisingly delicate and delicate result. Pancakes turn out ruddy, fragrant, full of holes and incredibly tasty.
Bake
For the first time, grease the pan with oil or a piece of bacon. Pour the dough, not forgetting to scroll the pan, help it to spread evenly. The dough becomes bubbly in a matter of seconds. Turn the pancake over as soon as the top begins to condense. After half a minute, remove the pancake from the pan.
Recipe for custard pancakes with kefir and milk
Before starting cooking, I would like to talk a little more about the importance of choosing the right dishes. Very often, delicious pancakes do not work, despite the fact that the hostess did everything according to the recipe. Why? The answer is very simple. It's all about the pan. For the thinnest openwork pancakes, it is best to choose a cast-iron skillet with a thick bottom and walls or a modern version with a non-stick coating. It is also important that before cooking pancakes, the bottom of the pan is clean, dry, without any pancake residue from previous baking.
List of ingredients
It:
- 220 ml of kefir;
- 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar;
- 180 g flour;
- 100 ml of milk;
- two eggs;
- a pinch of salt;
- as much soda;
- a spoonful of odorless sunflower oil.
And a glass of boiling water.
Description of the cooking process
The process of producing custard pancakes on kefir and milk begins, in fact, with kefir and milk. They must be mixed and slightly warmed. Then, chicken egg, granulated sugar and a pinch of salt are added to these products, as they say, to taste. Everything is thoroughly mixed. Now the turn of flour has come. Before sending it in a bowl to the milk-egg mixture, it must be carefully sieved through a fine strainer. The more air will be in the flour, the more magnificent pancakes will turn out.
Mix all the ingredients with a whisk or mixer. Pour in the oil. Again, a little interfere. It remains to mix soda with boiling water and pour this mixture into the dough. The reaction will not take long. I must say that the choux pastry in the recipe for pancakes in milk and kefir cooks an order of magnitude faster than usual. Hot water makes kefir, soda and flour interact more rapidly.
Stir the dough. We give him five minutes for a short rest. This time is also necessary in order to understand the consistency of the dough. Immediately after mixing the ingredients, it may be thick, you dilute it, and after the process of "rest" it becomes too liquid. We have to add flour again, calculate sugar, add other ingredients. In general, the process gets complicated and becomes wrong. If you give the test a rest, then it will show itself on the right side. In five to ten minutes it will already be clear whether it is worth adding liquid components or it is better to pour a couple of tablespoons of flour.
So, the dough is mixed, rested, brought to the desired consistency. You can start baking pancakes. We warm the pan thoroughly, drip a little oil for the first time, pour pancake dough and distribute it over the entire frying surface. Holes begin to appear on the surface of the “sun”. You can turn pancakes in 30-40 seconds.
Secrets of openwork patterns
- Do not forget to heat the kefir! If only milk is used, then add a couple of spoons of boiling water to it.
- It is better to get milk at home. It is more oily, pancakes are much tastier. If for the recipe for thin pancakes on kefir and milk, a packaged version of the dairy product was chosen, then give preference to 3.2% or more fat content.
- Flour must certainly be of the highest grade.
- Do not forget to sift the flour before adding to the dough!
- Eggs must also be homemade. They have a brighter yolk, which makes pancakes more sunny and attractive in appearance.
- Vegetable oil must be added to the dough. It makes it malleable, pancakes do not tear, do not stick to the pan. In addition, it is thanks to the butter that the pancakes become so openwork.
- Do not be afraid to experiment and put in the pancake dough additional ingredients: cinnamon, herbs, cocoa, grated chocolate, cheese, etc.
