Nevertheless, this tasty and light dish can be prepared at home at any time, if there is such a desire.

Classic recipe
This is one of the most common recipes for fritters on sour cream with yeast. For him you will need:
- 2 cups sour cream;
- 1/4 cup brown sugar;
- 1 large egg;
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of dry yeast;
- one and a half glasses of flour;

How to cook it?
Pour the sour cream into a large bowl and warm it just above room temperature. To do this, you can use a slightly heated oven, but using a microwave will be easier. Just be careful not to overheat the sour cream, otherwise it will curl up and turn into cottage cheese.
Once it is warm, add brown sugar, mix with the egg, then add the yeast. Mix well. Add flour, salt and whisk lightly (lumps should remain in the mixture, do not stir them).
Cover the bowl with the dough and keep in a warm place for an hour. The mixture should double in size during this time and become airy. You can place the bowl in a sink filled with warm water or on a stove with an oven on. An hour later, the dough should be ready.
Lubricate the pan with a small amount of oil, put slices of dough with a spoon and fry for 3-4 minutes at medium temperature on each side. Since the pancakes are yeast, the dough will be thick and should be fried a little longer.
