  • To make pancakes with red caviar: combine warm milk and warm water (the water gives the batter a lighter, airier texture), then add the egg yolks mashed with butter, along with the sugar and salt. Whisk everything well, add the flour, whisk again, then fold in the beaten egg whites, followed by the vegetable oil and cognac (for an unbeatable aroma), and stir everything together well once more. The batter should be thin, about the consistency of sour cream. Cook the pancakes on a hot, lard-greased pan (cast iron works best) until just lightly golden. Brush the finished pancakes with butter, cover with a lid, and set in a warm place for about 5 minutes. You can fold them into envelopes or cones — just don't forget to tuck a little red caviar inside. Garnish the dish with basil or lettuce leaves. Enjoy, and here's to your health!
