It is necessary
- - water - 500 g
- - flour - 500 g
- - sugar - 2 tablespoons
- - yeast - 1.5 teaspoons
- - salt - 1 teaspoon
Instructions
Step 1
The water must be warmed up to room temperature, in this case, the pancakes will turn out to be more airy. For more porous pancakes, take soda water. Pour water into a bowl, pour sugar, salt, yeast there and mix well. Immediately pour flour into the same bowl, mix the resulting mass and put it in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Depending on the quality of your flour, you may get different thicknesses of the dough, but this does not in any way affect the taste of the pancakes cooked in water. After 20 minutes, the dough should be mixed again, it should already rise a little and become stringy, after which you leave it again in a warm place for 40 minutes.
Step 3
After the specified time, the dough should increase in size by about 3 times. With greased hands, a piece of dough is pinched off, and a pancake is formed from it. This pancake is then placed in a preheated pan with vegetable oil. It is also possible to separate the dough from the total mass with a tablespoon, but due to its density and ductility with your hands, it turns out to be more convenient to do. Pancakes are fried in hot oil on both sides. It is recommended to serve the pancakes while they are still hot with honey or jam.
Step 4
For those who do not want to wait for the yeast dough to rise, there is an even simpler recipe for making pancakes in water. Instead of yeast, it uses a baking powder - 2 teaspoons. And it is better to take carbonated water for such pancakes, then they turn out to be airy and porous. Flour is well mixed with baking powder, water, sugar, salt are added, and everything is mixed again.
Step 5
To make the pancakes easier to fry, it is recommended to pour a little vegetable oil into the dough. The consistency of the dough should be the same as sour cream. Pour some vegetable oil into a preheated pan. Put the pancakes in a frying pan with a tablespoon and fry over medium heat on both sides until a golden crust appears. Such pancakes are served warm with jam or jam.
