Pancakes, pancakes - favorite dishes since childhood. It seems that there is nothing easier than to fry a pile and, putting saucers with jam, honey, sour cream on the table, enjoy them - ruddy, tasty, and even with a hot fragrant gull.
Little tricks
However, seeming is one thing, and how it really is is another. Therefore, the question of how to make pancakes is not so stupid, especially for beginner housewives. The most important thing is the dishes. Best if you have a special
pancake pan. Or ordinary, but small, with a thick bottom and walls. Why with thick ones? To warm up evenly. And the dough did not burn, it baked well.
How to bake pancakes on it is the second trick. The first step is to grease the pan with fat, sprinkle with salt and calcine. Then, when it cools down, wipe it with flannel, add “salt” again, and then wipe it again, but clean and dry. After that, grease the bottom with vegetable oil or a piece of bacon, thoroughly warm and start cooking. Few have heard about this, and if they know, they rarely use it. And completely in vain. This subtlety helps to avoid the generally accepted first pancake lumpy.
How to bake pancakes - the third trick: if you still get a lump, baking sticks to the pan - do not rush to scratch the bottom with a knife or a hedgehog. Such handling of dishes will only make it worse. Wash the pan and repeat the calcination procedure again. Will certainly help!
The fourth trick, which concerns the test already. It should be made by consistency similar to sour cream of medium density. The liquid will burn and tear when turned over. And too thick - to stay damp inside. This is always taken into account by housewives who already know how to bake pancakes.
And yet: it is better to pour fat (vegetable oil) into the dough itself. Then it will be enough before you start cooking once carefully walk through the pan with pork fat.
The heat should be strong, then the pancakes are baked faster, get rosy, with a crispy crust.
And the last legitimate question: "Pancakes are fried or baked?" In principle, if you do not add oil to the pan, but cook on what is contained in the dough (a small amount), then bake. And if before each new portion of pancakes flavored with fat - then they are fried.
Thin pancakes
Let us now proceed from theory to practice. Namely: we bake thin pancakes. This recipe is very simple. It is recommended to start mastering the “pancake” business from it. You will need: sifted flour - 2 cups, milk - 3 cups, eggs - 3 pcs., Butter - 50-60 g, a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Beat eggs, add salt and sugar, grind. Pour in milk and melted or softened butter, mix again. Pour in flour gradually.
Stir thoroughly to prevent lumps. Heat a pan with oil. Pour the dough so that it spreads along the bottom in a thin layer. Shake the baked pancake on a plate and bake on.
How and with what is this dish served? These pancakes are great for stuffing. Stuffing is placed in the middle, the dough is wrapped with an envelope. Once again, pancakes are placed in a pan, fried. Depending on the filling, they are used with sour cream (for example, pancakes with meat filling), jam or berry syrup, honey. Or a special vanilla-chocolate sauce. Although on their own, with crispy edges, ruddy, moderately oily, such pancakes will please anyone with a wonderful taste.
