Did you know that unleavened pancakes in Russia were especially in demand on fasting days, of which there are about two hundred a year? At first, they cooked with yeast, so the pancakes came out lush, voluminous and hearty, which was especially appreciated in poor peasant families. Later they began to knead the dough with soda, and nowadays there are options with baking powder, and even with mineral water.
If you properly prepare the dough in water, without violating the recipe, then pancakes will turn out no worse than traditional "dairy" ones. Of course, without a creamy aroma, but they will be just as elastic, delicate and subtle. You can serve it separately, as well as with all kinds of fillings, sauces and additives. Pancakes on water perfectly tolerate freezing, so you can cook a large portion for future use and reheat if necessary in a pan or in the microwave.
Flour can be used of the highest or first grade, with a high gluten content. If eggs are present in the recipe, then, of course, they must be fresh. Well, if the eggs are homemade, then the pancakes will turn out to be a beautiful yellowish color. Vegetable oil is traditionally used refined sunflower oil, that is, odorless and foreign impurities.
From the dishes you will need: a frying pan (optimally cast iron), deep dishes for kneading the dough, as well as a blender or hand whisk, a brush for greasing, a spatula for turning.
The classic recipe for pancakes mixed with water is almost no different from the usual for us option using cow's milk. The products are elastic, which allows you to put in them absolutely any filling of your choice, both sweet and salty. The list of ingredients includes eggs, so the recipe is not considered vegetarian or lean, but it is suitable for people with individual intolerance to dairy products (with the so-called lactose deficiency).
Total cooking time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
Output: 12-15 pcs.
I drive a couple of large eggs into a deep saucepan or bowl, immediately add salt and sugar, whisk intensively until foamy. If you're planning on making a dessert, you can add some vanilla sugar or vanillin for flavor.
I pour in water (it can be slightly warmed up, then it will be easier to deal with lumps) and put in soda, slaked with vinegar.
At the very end, pour in the oil, mix again. If you stirred well with a whisk, then there will be no lumps, the consistency will be smooth and uniform. If they do come across, you can use a submersible blender, if necessary, increase / decrease the amount of flour and liquid. I leave the finished dough aside for 15–20 minutes. During this time, the gluten will swell and the mass will become more elastic, which means that the pancakes will better keep their shape when frying. The consistency after infusion, as a rule, becomes a little thicker, like a jelly.
After the specified time has elapsed, you can finally reheat the pan. The first time I grease it with a brush dipped in a small amount of vegetable oil, and pour out a portion of the dough, distribute it over the entire bottom, twisting it in the air. You can take a frying pan with a non-stick coating, but it is still better to use a cast iron pan - it bakes fresh pancakes more evenly.
I bake for about 30-40 seconds on each side, until golden brown. You can turn it over with a spatula or tossing the pancake up with a sharp movement, as it is more convenient for you. To make the pancakes even tastier and softer, you can grease with a small cube of butter, stacking on top of each other while hot.
Best served as soon as removed from heat. You can wrap either salty or sweet filling of your choice. We brew tea and enjoy!
Pancakes on water do not have to be cooked with chicken eggs. In this case, the recipe is suitable not only for people with lactose intolerance, but also for fasting and vegetarians. It will turn out especially delicious if you wrap a filling of mushrooms fried with onions inside. Well, if you plan to serve them for dessert, then just pour it with jam or honey.
Ingredients
If you find a little milk in the refrigerator, but it is not enough for a full-fledged kneading, then you can dilute it with water in any ratio. We do the same with sour cream, that is, add liquid to it to get the required pancake consistency. It doesn't matter if the sour cream is slightly sour - in this case, the baked goods will be more magnificent. Please note that all foods must be warm, at room temperature, so try to get them out of the refrigerator well in advance.
Ingredients:

Ingredients:
The secret of making delicate and thin pancakes with holes lies in the fact that at the initial stage of preparing the dough, you need to beat the eggs properly - until a high foam appears. The more fluffy the egg mixture is, the more porous the products will end up. And don't forget to preheat the pan. If the bottom is not heated enough, the dough will not bubble and form patterns.
Ingredients:
Yeast pancakes differ from all others in that they take longer to cook, but they are much more fluffy.

It should come up twice, and after the third time you can already reheat the pan. The consistency can be made dense, then you get fluffy and thick pancakes, or, on the contrary, pour in more liquid, then the products will be thinner, you can wrap the fillings in them.
Ingredients:
The dough is called custard dough because the flour is brewed with steep boiling water - this retains moisture, which in turn evaporates during frying and provides the pancakes with airiness. Add a little cornstarch to make the garments more elastic and thinner than paper.

Salted pancakes - lightly brush with a cube of butter, serve with sour cream or sauce. An excellent filling will be chicken, mushrooms, liver, cabbage stewed with onions, salmon with dill, salmon with mascarpone, eggs with rice, cheese, etc.
