Pancakes on the water

Discover the American equivalent of Russian pancakes! In many cuisines of the world there are recipes for dough products baked in a frying pan. We have pancakes, and the Americans have pancakes. But it is wrong to think that this is the same thing: the proteins for the pancakes are whipped separately, and the products are baked in a dry pan.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 30 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the pancakes. Take the flour of the highest grade. Eggs and water should be at room temperature. Therefore, eggs need to be taken out of the refrigerator in advance.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Carefully separate the whites from the yolks. The whites should not get a drop of yolk, otherwise they will not climb. The dishes in which you will put the proteins should also be clean and dry. If there is water in the bowl, then the proteins will not climb again. Therefore, carefully monitor the fulfillment of these two conditions. Put the proteins in the refrigerator immediately.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Combine the yolks with sugar and vanilla sugar and rub well until smooth.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Pour in the water and mix the mixture well. Both types of sugar should completely dissolve.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Sift flour with baking powder and add parts to the dough. I usually sift the flour directly into the dough - it's more convenient this way.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Mix the dough thoroughly with a whisk, breaking all the lumps.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Beat the cooled whites with a mixer at high speed with a pinch of salt into a fluffy, stable foam. It very often happens that an unbroken liquid protein turns out to be under a layer of foam, especially if the whipping dishes taper strongly to the bottom and the whisk of the mixer does not reach the bottom. Therefore, make sure that the whole mass is whipped. Properly whipped whites turn out to be airy and do not fall off, and the trace left by the corollas does not tighten.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Gently mix the whipped whites into the dough. It is better to mix with a silicone spatula, folding movements from top to bottom.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    You will get a fairly elastic and airy dough saturated with oxygen.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    Preheat the frying pan over medium heat (I have this mode 6), there is no need to lubricate it with anything. Put a little dough in the center with a spoon and form an even circle of small diameter. Fry the pancake on medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Then turn to the other side and fry for another 1-2 minutes.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Pancakes are baked very quickly. While the round shape is being formed, the bottom has already turned red. Therefore, they can be turned almost immediately. But it all depends on your frying pan (its thickness, material), as well as on your stove. Put the finished pancakes on a plate and serve to the table. Bon appetit!

--------------------
Be prepared for the fact that flour may need a little more or, conversely, less than indicated in the recipe. You need to focus on how the dough should turn out (dense, soft, liquid, etc.). There is a lot of useful information about why flour, even of the same variety, can have completely different properties, read this article .
