Knead pancake dough with soda water
Lean pancakes are not only very tasty, but also relatively inexpensive. After all, for their preparation we need only water and flour, which cannot be said about ordinary pancakes, which are made using milk, eggs, kefir, cooking oils, etc.
To make lush and delicious lean pancakes, you need to pour sparkling water into a deep container, and then add baking powder or table soda, previously quenched with lemon juice, to it. After adding s alt and sugar to the liquid to taste, pour the sifted flour into the same bowl. After mixing the components, you should get a base, the consistency of which resembles thick and fatty kefir. It is from this dough that you will get very fluffy and soft pancakes, and not thin pancakes with holes.
Frying products in a pan
Like ordinary pancakes, lean pancakes must be cooked in a cast-iron pan or in a special pan pan. The prepared container should be put on a large fire and warmed up well. Then you need to pour refined oil into it (about 4 large spoons), you need to wait until a light smoke comes out of the pan. After that, pancake dough should be laid out in a hot dish. To do this, it is advisable to use a large spoon (1 spoon - 1 pancake).

Lenten pancakes should only be served hot. Additionally, they can be sprinkled with powdered sugar, and also decorated with a stream of fresh liquid honey, berries or fruits. It is advisable to present sparkling pancakes to guests along with a cup of black tea.
Lenten pancakes: a recipe using "quick" yeast
If you are a vegetarian or Lenten Christian, you should definitely know how to prepare a homemade dessert without animal products. This information will allow you to make delicious and flavorful baked goods without the use of eggs, milk or cooking oils.
Very often, lean pancakes are prepared using a yeast base. With it, homemade pancakes are very lush, soft and satisfying. Moreover, such products have an unusual sourness, which is inherent only in pancakes made on kefir.
Thus, using yeast, you can make pancakes, the taste of which is practically no different from a standard dessert with familiar products.
So, to make lean yeast pancakes, you need to purchase the following products:
- sifted wheat flour - about 2 cups;
- warm (boiled) water - about 1.5 cups;
- "fast" yeast - dessert spoon;
- white sugar - big spoon;
- sea s alt - ½ dessert spoon;
- unflavored sunflower oil - for frying products in a pan.
Making yeast dough
Have you decided to make lean pancakes with yeast? It is necessary to knead a magnificent base. To do this, use only warm drinking water. When creating comfortable conditions for yeast, you will get an incredibly tasty and porous dough.
So, to knead the base for pancakes, it is necessary to dissolve white sugar and sea s alt in ordinary warm boiled water. Having combined the sifted flour with "quick" yeast in a separate bowl, you must pour the mass into the sweet liquid and mix thoroughly with a large spoon. In this case, you should get a thick, but uncooked dough. It must be covered with a towel and left warm for 25 minutes. During this time, the base should become lush and viscous. A pleasant sour aroma (a sign of fermentation) usually comes from the approached dough.
It should be noted that the longer the yeast pancake dough is infused in heat, the more sour it becomes. Therefore, it is not recommended to overexpose it.
Cooking pancakes in a pan
As in the previous recipe, yeast pancakes must be cooked in a thick frying pan or a special pancake maker. It should be strongly heated together with refined oil, and then put on it 1 large spoonful of fragrant dough.
Cooking yeast products is required over medium heat until the bottom of the pancakes is browned, and the top is swollen and coveredmultiple bubbles. After that, the pancakes should be carefully turned over and fried in the same way.
Final stage
Having prepared the first batch of yeast pancakes, they must be removed and placed on a plate. As for the empty pan, then pour a little refined oil into it again, and then lay out the base (1 spoon - 1 pancake). Additional lubrication of finished products with hot vegetable oil is not required.
Serving lean pancakes to the table
After making a lot of fluffy and delicious yeast-based pancakes, you should pile them on a dish, and then sprinkle with powdered sugar. The taste of such products is very reminiscent of pancakes on kefir. They are just as fragrant, sour and have a kind of "dampness".
Serving yeast pancakes to the family table is recommended along with a cup of hot tea. Also, they must be presented with jam, condensed milk, jam or fresh honey. If desired, products can be decorated with fresh berries, whipped cream or pieces of fruit.
