Sunday: making pancake cake

On the last day of Maslenitsa week, Forgiveness Sunday, let's please our loved ones not just with delicious pancakes, but with a whole pancake cake with curd filling and butter cream.

How to prepare such a treat? The recipe is presented in this video:

Traditionally, we bake pancakes for Maslenitsa; there are simply countless different recipes, and each dish has its own unique taste and zest. May you remember Maslenitsa week not only for the hospitable feast, but also for communication with loved ones, positive emotions and joy from the imminent arrival of spring.

If your milk suddenly turns sour, do not rush to throw it away. I suggest making pancakes using one very tasty and simple recipe. To make it soft, add a little boiling water to the dough, and in the end you will get an excellent option for treating your loved ones.

a glass of sour milk;
100 ml boiling water;
1-2 tbsp. granulated sugar;
10 g vanilla sugar;
a couple of eggs;
170-180 g flour;
2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil;
a pinch of salt;
2-3 tsp. baking soda.

How to cook:

Take a deep bowl and break the eggs into it, add salt to them and stir a little with a fork or whisk. Add granulated sugar and vanilla sugar to the egg mass, beat everything thoroughly until foamy. Pour the sour milk into the mixture, stirring constantly. The consistency should be uniform. Pour baking soda into a bowl and stir. To avoid the taste of soda, first quench it with vinegar. Sift the flour through a sieve and add tablespoons to the mixture. Do not forget to stir the mixture all the time, otherwise lumps will form.

Remove the milk from the refrigerator an hour before cooking; it should be at room temperature.

Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or microwave until warm and pour it into the contents of the bowl. Add a little oil to the pan and let it heat up properly. Use a small ladle to scoop out a portion of the batter and pour it into the center of the pan. Swirl to distribute the dough evenly.

Turn the pancake over to the other side after 2 minutes and continue frying for another minute, then you can remove it from the pan. Grease the pancakes with oil as desired and fold them in any way: triangles, tubes, squares. The dough turns out to be porous, and the taste itself is so delicate that it is impossible to stop eating them.

Put the kettle on and help yourself, bon appetit!

Pancakes with cucumber brine

Did you know that cucumber pickle can not only be drunk, but also added to pancake dough? If not, then try making pancakes yourself or for a holiday table. I suggest making a cheese filling to make the taste creamier.

180-200 ml of cucumber brine;
100-120 ml of clean water;
a glass of flour;
2 eggs;
½ tsp. soda;
1 tbsp. granulated sugar;
2-3 tbsp. vegetable oil;
50-70 g hard cheese.

On a note!

The brine left over from salted tomatoes is suitable for the dough.

How to cook:

Break a couple of eggs into a deep cup, add sugar and stir the contents thoroughly. Use a whisk or fork to mix. Beat until foamy. Add warm water and vegetable oil to the eggs and stir again. Now pour in the brine, but first add soda to it so that it quenches.

Add flour little by little to the liquid mixture. Be sure to sift the flour, then the dough will be porous. There is no need to add salt due to the brine. Grease the frying pan with lard or oil. You only need to grease once, this amount will be enough for the entire frying.

When the pan is hot, pour in the batter and bake the pancakes until golden brown on both sides.

Grind the cheese on a coarse grater. If you like softer varieties, you can take “Russian”, “Dutch”, “Gouda”.

Spread the cheese shavings on the pancake, and then form an envelope so that all the edges meet in the center.

Place the pancakes in a heated frying pan, seam side down, and fry until golden brown.

You can decorate the finished dish with red caviar and sprigs of fresh dill or parsley.

If you like thin pancakes, but with some bumps on them, there is a recipe just for you. The indicated amount of ingredients is designed for approximately 14-16 pancakes, so if you want to cook more, then increase the amount, but according to the proportion.

480-500 ml kefir 2.5%;
230-250 ml hot water;
a couple of eggs;
2 tbsp. Sahara;
½ tsp. salt;
½ tsp. baking soda;
3-4 tbsp. sunflower oil;
220-240 g flour.

How to cook:

First, combine the eggs with sugar and salt in a deep bowl. Take a whisk and beat the mixture into a light foam. Add kefir, mix the ingredients until smooth. Pour hot water into another cup and add baking soda. Pour boiling water into the dough in a thin stream, stir the dough. Thanks to this technique, those very holes in the dough are created. At the penultimate stage, pour vegetable oil into the dough and mix everything again.

The final stage is adding flour. It should be free of lumps, sift it in advance. Add it to the kefir mass and stir. The consistency should resemble liquid sour cream. Heat the pan, pour a little dough into the center and spread. Fry the pancakes over medium heat until the sides begin to brown.

When the pancake is fried on both sides, remove it from the frying pan onto a separate plate.

The pancakes with holes are ready, brew some delicious tea, take out the jam or honey and take a sample. Bon appetit!

Orange pancakes

Do you want to surprise your family and cook unusual pancakes? The whole secret is in the addition of oranges, due to which a pleasant citrus note appears in the taste. You can add curd filling to the dessert or pour jam on top, it will be even tastier and more aromatic.

200-230 ml milk;
200-220 g flour;
a piece of butter weighing 40 g;
orange;
one testicle;
tbsp granulated sugar;
2 tbsp. vegetable oil;
a pinch of salt.

How to cook:

First you need to prepare the orange. To do this, grate the zest from it and squeeze the juice into a separate plate. If you took too large a fruit, then half is enough. Break an egg into a bowl for kneading dough, add sugar to it and place it with a fork. Pour the orange juice into the bowl with the egg mixture, then add the orange zest. Melt the butter in the microwave, pour it into a bowl with the remaining ingredients, add vegetable oil. Now add flour to the liquid mixture, but not all, but only half. Stir the mixture thoroughly to break up all the lumps.

Warm the milk a little to room temperature, then pour it into the dough and stir. Now the pancake dough is ready, you can bake.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and then grease it with a piece of lard. Before pouring the dough, stir it so that the zest rises to the surface. Fry the pancakes until golden brown.

Place the finished dessert beautifully on a plate, garnish with orange slices and serve the treat to the table.

Chocolate pancakes

If you love sweets, then you will probably like chocolate chip pancakes. Cocoa gives the dessert a beautiful color and aroma; decorate the pancakes with a scoop of ice cream, and your family will be absolutely delighted with such a delicacy!

230-250 ml kefir;
50 g butter (melted);
one testicle;
200-220 g flour;
tbsp cocoa;
tbsp Sahara;
a pinch of salt;
vanillin optional;
2 tbsp. vegetable oil.

It is better to use kefir with a fat content of no more than 2.5%, otherwise the dough will turn out too thick.

How to cook:

Break an egg into a mixing bowl, then add sugar and mash. Pour melted butter into the egg mixture, add cocoa, vanilla to taste. Don't forget to salt it. Mix the mixture until smooth using a blender. Add kefir, vegetable oil and sifted flour to the bowl. Add ingredients gradually, stirring the mixture. Cover the cup with the dough with cling film and place it in the refrigerator for an hour.

Then, when time has passed, grease the pan with lard and fry the pancakes on both sides until chocolate brown.

Place the finished pancakes on a separate plate, you can grease them with oil, then they will acquire a glossy shine. Before serving, pour chocolate syrup over the dessert and enjoy quickly.

Pancakes on water without eggs

A unique option, no special purchase of milk or whey is required. On Maslenitsa, you can quickly prepare pancakes early in the morning while the whole family is still sleeping. The main thing is that there is water and flour in the apartment. This method is ideal for those who fast or for some other reason do not consume animal products. By the way, fasting will begin immediately after Maslenitsa.

Ingredients:

water – 4 glasses;
white flour – 500 g;
baking soda and coarse salt - half a teaspoon each;
granulated sugar – 30-40 g;
refined sunflower oil (for dough) – 30 ml.

Preparation

Combine flour, salt and soda with granulated sugar, mix the ingredients together.

Use cold boiled water. Slowly pour it into the flour in a thin stream, stirring immediately with a fork or a kitchen whisk. Do this vigorously so that the flour does not have time to set into lumps. You can adjust the thickness to your liking by adding water to make the dough more fluid.

At the last stage, pour in vegetable oil, mix everything again and you can start baking pancakes.

I also recommend, in my opinion, the best recipe for pancakes with mineral water. If you fill them with condensed milk with nuts or fruits, the result is complete garbage! They will fly away on Maslenitsa in an instant.

Pancakes with whey

They are prepared without yeast, so they won’t take much time. In the evening we came home from work, quickly brought out the pancake mixture and not only for Maslenitsa, but any day for dinner there was a soft and tender yummy on the table. This option is most often used in making pancake cakes.

Ingredients:

whey – 800 ml;
granulated sugar – 60-70 g;
coarse salt – ¼ teaspoon;
wheat flour – 380-400 g;
chicken eggs – 2-3 pieces;
sunflower oil (for dough) – 30-40 ml.

Preparation

Pour the whey into a deep bowl (the whey should be at room temperature, you can even warm it up a little). Taste it right away, if it is sour, then this sourness will be felt in the pancakes, so adjust the taste with granulated sugar, you will have to add a little more of it. Break the eggs into the same bowl, add regular sugar (if you want, you can add vanilla to your liking), and add salt. Using a mixer or kitchen whisk, beat everything until smooth.

Add flour in small parts, continuing to knead the pancake mixture. Do this until you achieve a homogeneous consistency without a single lump. Pour the oil into the prepared pancake mixture, stir again and let the dough sit for about 15-20 minutes. After this you can bake.

Kefir pancakes without eggs

They turn out to be openwork, with a hole, have elasticity and are best suited for stuffing with fillings. You can use milk instead of water, the pancakes will turn out even tastier.

Ingredients:

white flour – 230-240 g;
kefir – 0.4 l;
drinking water – 1 glass;
coarse salt and baking soda - half a teaspoon each;
granulated sugar – 30-40 g;
sunflower oil (for dough) – 20-30 ml.

Preparation

Pour baking soda, granulated sugar and salt into a bowl with kefir, stir until the bulk ingredients are completely dissolved. Never use fermented milk product directly from the refrigerator; take it out in advance so that it warms up at room temperature. Gradually add flour, gently kneading the dough.

Boil water and pour almost boiling water into the pancake mixture. Immediately pour in the vegetable oil, mix everything thoroughly again and you can start frying the pancakes.

It is difficult to find a housewife in Russia who would not bake pancakes and pancakes for Maslenitsa. Real Russian pancakes are made from yeast dough; the dough for them was made overnight and baked in cast iron frying pans. Not everyone can bake thin, lacy pancakes, despite the apparent simplicity of the process. This simple matter has its own subtleties:

The first trick when baking pancakes for Maslenitsa is to always sift the flour before kneading the dough. This is especially important for yeast pancakes. Then the dough will rise much better.
The second trick is to heat the frying pan very well, and only then pour the dough onto it. You can grease the frying pan with a piece of salted lard placed on a fork. This must be done before each pancake. Or you can add a spoonful of vegetable oil to the dough itself, and then you will only need to grease the pan once, before starting to fry.

Recipes for pancakes and pancakes for Maslenitsa

Pancakes and pancakes for Maslenitsa can be baked from yeast dough and unleavened dough. Both will be delicious. Only fresh ones are much faster to cook, since no time is wasted on fermentation. They prepare pancakes for Maslenitsa using kefir, sour cream, and make pancakes with milk and water.

Pancake recipe for Maslenitsa 1 - Yeast pancakes with milk

1 liter of milk
500 g flour
2 eggs
small packet of dry yeast
2 tbsp. spoons of sugar
half a teaspoon of salt
1 tbsp. spoon of vegetable oil
butter for greasing pancakes

Divide the flour into two parts. Add sugar and yeast to one and stir. Pour in warm milk and mix thoroughly. Do not do the opposite, that is, do not add flour to milk. Then you end up with lumps in the dough.

Place the dough in a warm place for 40 minutes. It should rise by 2 times. While the dough is rising, separate the yolks from the whites of the eggs. Grind the yolks with salt and vegetable oil, and beat the whites with a mixer into a strong foam.

Add the rest of the flour and yolks to the dough and let the dough rise again. Then add the whites and mix gently. If necessary, add flour.

Pancake recipe for Maslenitsa 2 - Russian yeast pancakes

Melt the butter or margarine and cool slightly (the butter should not be hot so as not to burn the yeast). Grind the egg yolks with sugar. Add the yolks, mashed with sugar, salt, butter (margarine or vegetable oil can be used) to the suitable dough - stir well.

Then add sifted flour and milk into the dough in small portions, alternately: adding 0.5 cups of flour and pouring in half a cup of milk. Each time you add flour, you need to stir the dough well, and then pour in the milk and mix well again - so that no lumps form in the dough. Thus add the remaining flour and milk. Cover the dough with a towel and place it in a warm place again.

When the dough rises, you need to stir it and let it rise again. When the dough rises again, add the whites beaten with salt, mix gently and let the dough rise again. Do not stir the risen dough any more, but immediately bake the pancakes, lifting the dough with a ladle from the bottom to the very top.

Previously on the topic of Maslenitsa:

Very soon, from March 4 to March 10, Maslenitsa will be celebrated in Ukraine. Everyone knows the main tradition of the holiday - baking pancakes, but not everyone knows that the history of the holiday does not end there. Did you know when you need to go to your mother-in-law or woo your beloved with pancakes, and on which day you can’t eat pancakes at all?

Maslenitsa lasts a week, and each of the Maslenitsa days has its own history, name and peculiarity. And accordingly, so do traditions. will tell you what each day of Maslenitsa week means and how to spend them correctly.

MONDAY – “MEETING”

It is on this day that the scarecrow is made and preparations for the festive table begin. It is necessary to cook pancakes on this day, but eating is not necessary, since according to tradition they are intended for deceased relatives. On this day, it is also customary for relatives to visit each other to agree on how to spend the coming week.

TUESDAY – “PLAYING”

It is on Tuesday that Maslenitsa festivities and epic gatherings begin. On this day it is customary to start fun games and treat everyone for creating pancake fun. This day is especially exciting for unmarried girls, since bridal shows were organized for the “flirt”. In essence, it all comes down to ordinary matchmaking, during which families treat each other to pancakes.

WEDNESDAY – “Gourmand”

On this day, housewives bake mountains of pancakes with all their might, treating their households and guests to them. According to the beliefs of our great-grandfathers, it is on Wednesday that you can enjoy your pancakes. Also on the third day of Maslenitsa sons-in-law go to visit mother-in-law for treats. Moreover, it is imperative to eat everything that your mother-in-law prepares for you, otherwise winter will be outside the window for a long time. Also on this day, the mother-in-law shows her affection for her son-in-law by the way she set the table.

THURSDAY – “ROLL UP”

This day is a time of true abundance, when the tables should be full of food and drinks. The fourth day, according to tradition, was the most fun day in the ceremonial farewell to winter. It marks the beginning of a wide celebration, when people stopped any work and devoted all their time to games, fun and other fun. Another important tradition on this Maslenitsa day was sleigh rides “in the sun.” By riding horses around the village, always in a clockwise direction, the participants of the holiday thereby helped the sun to drive away winter.

FRIDAY – “Mother-in-Law’s Gathering”

This day is celebrated in the same way as “Gourmet”, but exactly the opposite. On this day Mother-in-law goes to visit her son-in-law for pancakes. It was customary to spend such a day only with family and close friends. It’s interesting that the son-in-law had to not only invite his mother-in-law to visit and treat her to pancakes, but also prepare the delicacies with his own hands. And she was supposed to give good advice about family life.

SATURDAY – “SISTER-IN-LAW’S GET-OUT”

Following the mother-in-law's come "mother-in-law's get-togethers." According to tradition, on this day all the village residents gathered in the main square and solemnly set fire to the effigy. This ritual meant farewell to winter until next year. Also on this day, married girls should give gifts to their sisters-in-law (husband’s sisters) and have bachelorette parties, and, accordingly, come to them with pancakes.

"FORGIVEN SUNDAY"

And finally, the last day of Maslenitsa is Forgiveness Sunday. It got its name because traditionally on this day it is customary to ask for forgiveness from relatives and friends for insults spoken against them. This is exactly where you should start the day - ask each other for forgiveness for the offenses caused and after that treat the person you asked for forgiveness to pancakes. This action is sealed with a threefold kiss on the cheeks. On the last day before Lent, people tried to eat as much as possible, went to the cemetery, and remembered relatives.
