How to Make Thin Pancakes with Holes: Barnaul Resident's Tips

Who doesn«t love fragrant, thin pancakes that just melt in your mouth? This treat, capable of delighting both children and adults, has its little secrets. Yulia Kanitelena, a resident of Barnaul, Russia, shared her proven pancake recipe with NGS22.RU.

Main rules for pancakes with holes:

• Dough consistency: Forget about thick dough. It should be liquid, like cream. If the dough turns out too dense, don»t be afraid to dilute it with a small amount of cold boiled water.

• No yeast: Yeast dough is the enemy of thin pancakes. It adds fluffiness but deprives them of the coveted holes. Therefore, for perfect pancakes, it«s better to avoid yeast.

• Proper pan: Choose a pan with a thick bottom, for example, cast iron. It ensures even heating, which is very important for getting thin and well-cooked pancakes on both sides.

Ingredients:

• Milk — 500 ml

• Flour — 3 cups

• Boiled water — 500 ml

• Eggs — 2 pcs.

• Baking soda — 1 tsp.

• Sugar — 5 tbsp.

• Vegetable oil — 5 tbsp.

• Salt — to taste

Preparation:

• Slightly heat the milk and water.

• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and salt until fluffy foam.

• Carefully pour the egg mixture into the warm milk-water base.

• Gradually, while continuing to beat with a mixer, add flour until you get a homogeneous dough without lumps.

• At the end, add baking soda and vegetable oil, mix well again.

• Heat the pan, grease it with oil, and bake thin pancakes on both sides until golden brown.
