These pancakes always turn out! Wrote recipes test post about empanadas, but decided to make a separate post, since they are suitable for any fillings. Pancakes are obtained thin, but strong. By themselves, they are also very tasty.
Plus the recipes, wrote some cool ways the ingredients can be changed to suit your mood and taste, but not lose quality.
Once again, the basic recipes are intended for cooking pancakes, in which you will wrap some delicious stuffing. If you want to improve the taste of the pancakes themselves, I recommend to use the recommendations in the end of the post;)
So, first basic recipes.
Recipe 1.
The ingredients on 11-12 large pancake (26 cm in diameter):
- 200g – 1.5 cups tsz flour (I often use spelt flour or whole wheat that is finely ground, ideally to sieve),
- 3-4 eggs (depends on their size – 3 large or 4 small, generally the more eggs, the firmer and the “rubber” will pancakes),
- 600 ml – 3 cups of cow’s milk
- 0.5 tsp. salt,
- 1-2 tbsp Jerusalem artichoke syrup or any other sweetener
- 2-3 tbsp vegetable oil without bright aroma and flavor.
Recipe 2 (choux pastry, love him even more).
The ingredients are the same as in the previous recipe, only instead of 1 Cup milk – 1 Cup of boiling water(!).
How to do it.
For recipe 1 whip all ingredients until smooth. If you have a blender: first, beat the eggs with the salt and sweetener, then add milk and butter, whisk a little, then gradually introduce the flour and cook until smooth.
If you are whipping by hand, similar to the first, the eggs with the salt and sweetness, then add 1 Cup milk and butter, bring until smooth, then gradually introduce the flour and the dough will be no lumps, add another 2 cups of milk, peremeshivaete ready.
Then the dough should be left on for 25-30 minutes or at least 10 minutes (this is important). The solid particles of flour will swell, gluten is formed and the dough becomes stretchy and elastic. Then again all beat well and bake pancakes in a good non-stick pan on medium-high heat (the pan should pre-heat well).
For recipe 2 should be the same beat all ingredients except boiling water. Boiling water is added to the end, constantly stirring the dough, and then let the dough stand for a while.
With the first part, I fry 2 minutes maximum, second maximum 1 minute. The oil I use only for baking the first pancake, then this is not required. The first pancake is not very pretty. I use it to try and evaluate if you need anything to add to the dough (salt, sweetness). The result is 10 beautiful openwork pancakes.
Important. Second recipe turns out more pancakes. In principle, the number of pancakes is strongly dependent on their thickness and diameter of the pan. Will bake delicately in a small frying pan, pancakes will be approximately in 2 times more.
In the process of baking pancakes spread on a plate and cover with a lid or anything, so they don’t dry. As soon as espacosa all, just wrap the filling in them or make a pancake cake.
How can these recipes to change:
- 1 Cup milk to replace a Cup of cream (vegetable oil in this case not to put, and even so be bold),
- 1 Cup milk to replace the nut/coconut milk (if you use fat coconut milk, the oil also can not put),
- 1 Cup milk to replace the yogurt
- Replace all of the milk or part of it melted milk,
- To replace the water in the brew, beer, or vegetable/beef broth (it is suitable for savoury fillings),
- Replace vegetable oil for butter or ghee,
- Put the dough a few teaspoons of cocoa, but it it densifies the batter, so the pancakes will be slightly thicker. For this variant it is necessary to add in the dough into 1-2 tbsp more sweetener. Also very tasty in this chocolate dough, add 1 tbsp of ground coffee or shot of espresso.
- Put the dough a couple of tablespoons without slides matcha. For this option, you also need to add in the dough into 1-2 tbsp more sweetener.
- Add to the dough 3-4 tablespoons of sourdough bread (or leftover sourdough), pancakes are incredibly fragrant,
- Part of flour (no more than 30%) to replace buckwheat, oats or rye flour,
- Add your favorite spices depending on the toppings (vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, chili, curry, etc.).
I’m still going to experiment with a “flax egg” and the addition of fruit juice/puree, onions or something else and add new variations.
P. S. this post is a reminder of fillings for pancakes.
Have a nice culinary discoveries!
