Fluffy Oladyi (Pancakes) with Baking Powder and Powdered Milk

Soft, airy little pancakes - quick and delicious! These oladyi (thick Russian-style pancakes) made with baking powder and powdered milk come out wonderfully tender and fragrant. Warm the water a little first so the dry ingredients dissolve more easily. You only need a couple of spoonfuls of powdered milk. This recipe is perfect for those moments when you're out of fresh milk or kefir. Serve them with jam, sweetened condensed milk, or sour cream.

  • These pancakes are delicious even after they've cooled. They aren't very thick, but they still come out airy inside. They cook up quickly, which makes them ideal for breakfast. Try spreading a couple with dulce de leche (boiled sweetened condensed milk) - a breakfast both kids and grown-ups will love.
