Ingredients
Main:
- •wheat flour (sifted) - 300 g
- •milk (warm, approx. 36–40 °C) - 300 ml
- •eggs (room temperature) - 2 pcs
- •sugar (can be increased to taste) - 2 tbsp
- •dry yeast (regular instant/quick dry yeast) - 7 g
- •salt (level) - 1 tsp
Spices & Seasonings:
- •vegetable oil for frying (plus a little for the pan) - 2 tbsp
- •vanilla sugar (optional, for aroma) - 1 tsp
Instructions
Prepare the yeast starter
In a small bowl mix warm milk (50 ml taken from the total amount), 1 tsp sugar and the yeast. Leave for 8–10 minutes until the mixture begins to foam.
Beat the eggs
In a large bowl lightly beat the eggs with the remaining sugar and a pinch of salt until uniform. If desired, add the vanilla sugar.
Combine the ingredients
Pour the prepared yeast mixture and the remaining warm milk into the eggs. Mix with a whisk. Gradually add the sifted flour and gently fold until you get a thick but pourable batter, similar in consistency to sour cream. Cover the bowl with a towel and leave in a warm place for 30–40 minutes until the batter increases in volume by about 1.5–2 times.
Heat the pan
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, add 1–2 tbsp vegetable oil and spread it over the surface. Use a spoon to place portions of batter, forming pancakes 7–9 cm in diameter.
Fry the pancakes
Fry the pancakes 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles appear and they are golden, then carefully flip and fry another 1.5–2 minutes until cooked through. Place finished pancakes on paper towel to remove excess oil.
Serving
Serve hot with honey, jam, sour cream, or fresh berries to taste.
When to Eat
