Thick pancakes with holes made with yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 10 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   To make the pancakes thick and fluffy, you need to prepare a sponge (because we cook using the sponge method). You need to measure out the required portion of milk (in our case, a glass).

2. STEP 2

   

   Then, having separated a third of the total amount of milk, we put it in a saucepan on the stove and let it heat up. When it reaches a temperature close to hot, first dissolve salt and sugar (third part) in it, mixing them before doing this.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then, without delay, let's send the yeast here.

4. STEP 4

   

   Mix everything well and add flour (a third of the portion allocated for this purpose), whisking it with a whisk or other convenient method.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover the saucepan with the future dough with a clean cloth, put it in a warm place and continue - now beat the eggs (if the eggs are large C-0, then take one, if small, then two), adding the remaining sugar.

6. STEP 6

   

   In a saucepan, combine the dough, if it has risen well (it should double or triple in size), and the beaten egg. Beat with a mixer, gradually adding the remaining flour and milk (the dough should be thicker than thick sour cream, so the amount of flour in the recipe is somewhat arbitrary).

7. STEP 7

   

   Our goal is to get a well-risen dough. Therefore, covering the saucepan again, let’s put it in a warm place. The ideal option is a water bath, but do not overdo it (the water should not boil). By the way, if you don’t have time to prepare the dough, you need to mix the ingredients in the same sequence and adjust it in a water bath. The dough will rise quickly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Heat up the frying pan. Pour in the already melted butter (so that it covers the entire surface well). After heating it, take the dough with a ladle and pour it into the bottom of the frying pan, tilting it in the desired direction. Fry on both sides, turning over as soon as the pancakes are browned.
