Yeast pancakes in milk: a step by step recipe
Making pancakes with yeast takes a little longer. To do this, heat one liter of milk in a microwave or on a stove. After all, yeast can only be activated in a warm environment. In milk, you need to dilute 3-4 teaspoons of dry yeast and let the dough infuse for an hour. In this case, you need to cover the bowl with a towel to maintain the desired temperature.
After the time has elapsed, add 3-4 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of sugar, a little salt and 2 cups of sifted wheat flour to the dough. The dough should turn out liquid. A blank for pancakes should also be infused for half an hour, so that the yeast begins to act.
Using the same principle, you can make acid pancakes with yeast. The recipe will be very similar to the classic. However, we will replace one very important ingredient.
Pancakes sour (yeast): recipe
With traditional cooking methods, everything is more or less clear. But how to cook sour pancakes? The recipe is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. And to create it, you need kefir with low fat content. In this case, the dough is acidic, which gives it a special taste.
For cooking, you should heat a liter of kefir and dilute dry yeast in it in the same way as in the previous recipe. However, note that the amount of flour should be slightly less than when using milk. After all, kefir has a thicker consistency. The output should be a liquid, but at the same time tough dough, resembling a pancake dough.
How to fry pancakes?
In order for the pancakes to be in perfect shape, you should use a pan with a flat and thin bottom. In this case, the dishes should have a handle, since you have to distribute the dough in a circular motion.
Before frying, you should well heat the pan and grease with butter. Some housewives use animal fat for this purpose. But he will give pancakes a specific smell.
Scoop the dough with a ladle and pour in the middle of the pan. Then you need to quickly take it by the handle and in a circular motion evenly distribute the dough on the surface. If you do everything slowly, then the pancake will not take the desired shape.
Pancakes on milk are fried for 1-2 minutes on both sides. Then you need to immediately remove them from the pan and grease with butter, folding on top of each other.
Sour pancakes with yeast, the recipe of which was described above, are fried a little longer than ordinary pancakes in milk. Because the output is a rather thick dough, more like pancakes.
How long can pancakes be stored?
Ready-made pancakes are usually eaten quickly. After all, it is very difficult to stay thanks to their aroma and mouth-watering appearance. However, if you still have half-eaten pancakes, you should fold them in the shape of triangles and hide them in special food containers. In this form, they can be stored for a whole week, and if necessary heated in a frying pan or in a microwave. But it should be remembered that sour pancakes with yeast, the recipe of which is described in this article, deteriorate much faster than those cooked in milk.
Another way to save pancakes is to stuff them with different fillings. In this case, you will not only extend their shelf life, but also make a full dinner dish or snack for work. Stuffed pancakes should also be stored in the refrigerator. However, note that not every filling will remain fresh for a long time.
How can you stuff yeast pancakes?
As a filling for pancakes, you can use cottage cheese, grated with sugar. For the flavor, you can add a little vanilla sugar. This recipe will be a great idea for breakfast or dessert. And you can serve the dish with sour cream, condensed milk or your favorite berry jam.
For a more satisfying snack, you can use minced meat fried with onions and seasoned with salt and spices. The most delicious pancakes are obtained from minced chicken. But you can find recipes with the addition of liver, beef and pork. In general, it all depends on personal preferences. Pancakes stuffed in this way should be fried on both sides before serving.
And the most traditional recipe for Russian cuisine is pancakes with red caviar. Despite the high cost of this ingredient, the dish is very popular.
