However, one recipe for success may not be enough. Therefore, to begin with, we hasten to share a few recommendations that will make cooking more comfortable, and pancakes more tasty and beautiful.
Useful Tips
- Proper utensils. To prepare the dough, it is better to use deep dishes. So it’s more convenient to “wield” a whisk or submersible mixing equipment.
- Suitable oil. Any recipe for pancakes in mineral water involves the use of refined vegetable oil. It does not change the taste of the dish, unlike unrefined.
- Room temperature ingredients. The dough should settle at room temperature for about half an hour, after which it is mixed: then the components will interact better, the necessary uniformity will be achieved. Thanks to all this, the mass spreads better, and the pancake is easy to turn over.
- Features of kneading. Pancake mass can be prepared in a blender or in a combine, but mineral water must be added separately and knead the dough with it manually. Stir the mass periodically during baking, as it usually settles.
- We get rid of sticking. If the dough is stuck on a ladle, it is enough to lower its capacity with cold water before each scooping. This, incidentally, is true for pancakes, and even for dumplings. And so that the pancakes themselves do not stick to the bottom during frying, the pan needs to be thoroughly calcined before oiling.
Pancake Milk Dough
In this recipe for soda pancakes, water is used in equal proportions with milk. The amount of flour given is approximate, as you need to judge by the density of the dough: it should look like a store kefir.
Much depends on the quality of the flour, and on the fat content of milk. If the dough seems somewhat liquid to you, you can pour more flour into it, but if you would like thin pancakes to come out, try not to sprinkle a lot.
