As the saying goes: "Goal is a fiction of cunning." When it is necessary to quickly and tasty feed a family, and the refrigerator does not please with an abundance of products, recipes from the 90s come to mind. Then we contrived to cook from practically nothing. For example, baked pancakes without eggs, without kefir, using only flour, water and yeast. I don’t remember eating something tastier than those pancakes.
Lush fritters without eggs: making a dough
Yes, you can’t do without dough in this recipe, so we will take the process of its preparation with all seriousness. We need half a glass of warm (about 38 degrees) water, half a tablespoon of flour, 25 grams of pressed baking yeast and half a tablespoon of sugar. It is important that the dishes in which the dough will be prepared have a fairly decent volume - about 0.5 liters. We send the yeast into warm water, shake it slightly to dissolve faster, then add flour and sugar to the resulting liquid. We cover the container with the dough with a napkin, put it in a warm place and wait about fifteen minutes. During this time, our liquid will turn into a lush cap of foam (provided that the yeast is of high quality). Everything, dough is ready.
Fritters without eggs, without kefir: knead the dough
The main thing in this business is the right attitude. We throw out all negative thoughts from our heads, we think only about good: about good health for all children and household members, about peace in the family and about the house - a full bowl. Pour 3 cups of sifted wheat flour, half a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt into a saucepan with a volume of three liters or more. Thoroughly mix the bulk ingredients. Pour the coming dough into the pan. Cool boiled water to 38 degrees. Its amount in the dough depends on the quality of the flour. Let's start with one glass, increasing the volume as needed. Gradually pour warm water into the mixture of loose ingredients, continuously mixing the dough. As a result, it should acquire a uniform consistency of not very oily and thick sour cream.
We cover the pan with a damp cloth and set in a warm place for about an hour. As a result, if everything goes according to plan, we will see the following picture: the dough has increased in volume at least twice, it has a glossy surface, and if you scoop the dough with a spoon, it does not flow and keeps its shape well. Now you can start baking pancakes without eggs, without kefir.
Fry without fanaticism
It is good if the house has a frying pan with a thick bottom - on such pancakes without eggs, without kefir they will turn out to be surprisingly magnificent and rosy. We heat the pan as much as possible, pour a little odorless vegetable oil, reduce the heat. A tablespoon, previously moistened in water, gently spread our pancakes in a pan. I close it with a lid, but this is optional. It is necessary to turn the pancakes when the top is “grabbed”, that is, it will be seen that they have risen and the dough is not raw on top. No need to wait until the pancake "tans to black" - a fairly light golden. Put the prepared pancakes on a dish and serve hot.
What does it eat
We determined that there are very few products at our disposal, which is why the “sauce” for our pancakes is the simplest, but no less tasty - water with sugar. Everything is done very simply: one tablespoon of sugar is mixed with two tablespoons of water and everything is brought to a boil.
Well, now you know how to cook pancakes on the water. Good luck!
