If you think so, just try making lean pancakes with yeast. These delicate fragrant suns are not inferior in taste to their rich counterparts, and they can also be served on the table for those people who observe the Orthodox Christmas fast.
It is necessary
- - flour - 4, 5 cups
- - water - 1l 250 ml
- - yeast - 1 tablespoon
- - vegetable oil - 3 tbsp.
- - salt - 1 tbsp.
- - sugar - 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Step 1
Let's dissolve salt and sugar in warm water. The quantitative indicator here can vary up or down, depending on your taste. But keep in mind that if there is too much sugar, the pancakes will stick to the pan during baking.
Add dry bakery fast-acting yeast. Stir.
Step 2
Now we will gradually, stirring with a whisk to prevent the formation of lumps in the dough, add flour. To prepare lean pancakes, take wheat flour, the protein content of which per 100 grams of product is 10.3 grams. This is an essential point, since if there is more or less protein, then, accordingly, less or more water may be needed. That is, we focus on this indicator.
Flour is the most common, premium, general purpose.
Step 3
Pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil into the resulting dough. It is better to take oil that has not passed the stage of refining and deodorization. Mix thoroughly with a whisk. The ingredients list contains three tablespoons of oil. That's right, there is no mistake: two tablespoons of butter go into the dough, and we will need the third one to grease the pan from time to time. Since the dough already contains fat, this should not be done constantly, but as needed.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with the dough with cling film or a regular lid of a suitable size and leave in a warm place for 15 to 30 minutes. Make sure there are no drafts. After a specified period of time, the dough will already be infused, it will become lush, airy. You can start baking our lean pancakes.
Step 5
Grease the hot pan with oil, pour out a small portion of the dough, distribute it evenly over the surface of the pan. Put the pan over medium heat. Bake one side until the top of the pancake is dry. Turn over carefully and bake on the other side.
Step 6
From the specified number of products, 25-35 pancakes will be obtained. Lean yeast pancakes can be served with honey, vegan mayonnaise, and a variety of toppings, both sweet and savory.
