I do not claim that my pancakes the most delicate and light. But the fact that they are thin, tasty, easy to prepare and can be a wrapper for all sorts of fillings, whether it's ground beef with onions, cottage cheese with raisins or ham with cheese, I promise you. And yet just like pancakes without the filling, incredibly delicious as a separate feast, to which they ask thick cream, flavored honey and viscous condensed milk. And how to cook them – see for yourself.
To make tasty and thin pancakes, we need:
Two large chicken eggs. If they are small – feel free to take three, "oil will not spoil porridge";
two liters of whey (or milk, but I the difference in the taste of pancakes is not felt),
and wheat flour. My experience is that all manufacturers it varies widely, and say that it will take a certain amount (or a gram more or a gram less), will not work. So the advice is simple, take for a start 400 grams (three cups) and then add until the consistency of thick yogurt.
I also have this pancake pan (or two identical), thin, low, flat and with non-stick coating. You can do it on any pan, but frying on a pancake griddle makes job very quickly and flip them – simple.
From all this knead liquid dough (the mixer with you), put five tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt and again mix well.
Pour batter with a ladle ( 2/3 ladle) onto preheated frying pan and immediately spread the batter over the entire area to a pancake does not become thick. Although the first always "lumpy", as in the Russian proverb.
Before frying each pancake on a frying pan put a little butter, literally, on the tip of a knife, and in all, this volume takes half (100 grams) packs of standard. And while I understand that we have non-stick pans, but it makes bliny so much tastier.
After 30 seconds flip the pancake and fry it on the other hand even less time.
And so a pancake for pancake. So it's quite the impressive stack of delicious pancakes, which asks in your mouth.
The process of cooking with two pans does not take much time, although a 3-liter pots first, a little bit terrifying. I have all cooking, from kneading the dough before loading dirty dishes in the dishwasher, takes slightly over an hour.
Bon appetit.
