Pancakes are one of the main and most beloved dishes of Russian cuisine. There are a great many ways to cook them, and it’s impossible to list the options for the filling at all. Of course, any housewife has her favorite pancake recipes . Well, if you want to know how to bake pancakes for dinner or breakfast, we hope that our tips will be helpful.
Quick pancakes
Some do not like to cook pancakes, considering that it takes a lot of time. Indeed, if you stick to the classic recipe and put the dough for pancakes on the dough, you have to wait until it suits. But there is another way, how to bake pancakes without long preparations. Try ripe pancakes stuffed with ham and cheese.
To prepare the dish you will need two glasses (with a slide) of flour, a couple of eggs, sugar (a tablespoon with top), a pinch of salt, a quarter of a teaspoon of baking soda, vegetable oil. Minced meat is prepared from 400 g of ham, 200 g of hard cheese and onions (you need a couple of heads).
Pour the flour into a deep container, break the eggs there, add sugar, soda and salt, a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Slowly pour warm boiled water into the mixture and knead the dough thoroughly. Approximately a liter of water will go to the reduced volume. The consistency of the mixture should be similar to sour cream of medium density. The finished dough can be beaten with a mixer or whisk to make pancakes more airy.
The main secret of good pancakes is the right utensils. Experienced housewives keep a special pan for pancakes in the kitchen. It should not be too large in diameter. The most suitable material for a pancake pan is not fashionable Teflon, but ordinary cast iron. The handle of such dishes should be fixed, because the pan will have to be constantly turned over. If your family loves pancakes, pancakes, cottage cheese pancakes and pancakes, buy the right dishes and the question of how to bake pancakes quickly and without problems will be decided once and for all. However, in addition to the correct choice of kitchen utensils, there are some other subtleties in the preparation of this dish.
Before starting to bake pancakes, warm the pan properly. As a rule, the first pancake comes out lumpy with overly impatient cooks who pour the dough into the barely warm dishes. A preheated pan needs to be greased with vegetable oil. To do this, use a special brush or half a potato worn on a fork. Pour the dough into the pan with the ladle and evenly distribute it on the bottom, slightly tilting the dishes from side to side. After one side of the pancake is lightly browned, carefully turn it over and fry for a couple of minutes.
For the minced meat, chop the onion finely and fry in butter. We rub the cheese, cut the ham into strips. We combine all the ingredients and put them on pancakes, roll them up and put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes. Serve with sour cream.
Apple pancakes with cinnamon
We won’t begin to tell how to bake pancakes on a sponge, because there are a lot of tips on this topic on culinary sites. Our dish, although it is prepared according to the classical technology, but the taste is very unusual.
To make dessert pancakes, we need 6 sweet and sour apples, flour (4 tbsp.), Milk (2 tbsp.), Fat cream (2/3 cups), butter - half the standard packet, fast yeast (best Saf) moment ") - a teaspoon with a top, an egg (4 pieces), grated orange or lemon peel - about a tablespoon, ground cinnamon and powdered sugar for sprinkling.
First, make applesauce. To do this, bake the fruits in the oven and rub through a sieve. Then prepare a dough of half flour, warm milk and yeast. After the dough begins to approach, add the remaining flour, eggs, melted butter, applesauce, zest and cream to it. We bake pancakes, as usual, in a pan greased with oil. Before serving, sprinkle them with cinnamon and powdered sugar.
Thick pancakes are much more convenient and faster to cook, but this option is not suitable for many types of toppings. Minced meat or rice from rolled pancakes will simply fall out. Therefore, in order for you to be able to cook a variety of dishes, we will show you how to bake thin pancakes. There is no particular trick in this, since they are prepared according to the same recipe, only liquids are added a little more to the dough. In terms of density, it should be like kefir. And a smaller portion of the mixture is poured into the pan. Thin pancakes are more difficult to turn over; they easily break and lose their shape, so first carefully separate the pancake from the bottom of the pan and turn it over the plate. By the way, if you cook spring rolls, it is absolutely not necessary to fry them on both sides.
In order to become a good cook, there is little knowledge about how to bake pancakes or cook borscht. The ability to improvise is also necessary. Of course, it’s not worth changing the recipe, otherwise you risk getting pancakes or, better, fried lumps of dough instead of pancakes. But to conjure over the filling or serving is quite acceptable. For example, try using herring butter or fillet slices with green onions as a filler. Believe me, such pancakes taste no worse than with black or red caviar.
And if there is no time or desire to bother with the filling, prepare pancakes with seasoning. To do this, you need crab sticks. Pre-cut them into rings, lightly passer in oil and fill with dough. Fry the pancake on both sides until golden.
Enjoy your meal!
