The right pancake dough is the key to thin, lacy and delicious pancakes. The choice of ingredients for the base of the dish depends on the type, whether it will be sweet or meat pancakes, thin or thicker.
Here are the most delicious options for making dough.
Milk will give pancakes tenderness, softness and splendor. Beginners in the culinary business start with this recipe.
The dough on kefir does not stick to the bottom of the pan, it is much easier to turn it over to the other side, and the pancakes themselves turn out to be tender and tasty.
During fasting days, you always want something tasty and nutritious. Pancakes, which contain eggs and milk, come to mind. But the dough can be made on water and without eggs.
Corn flour has a low calorie content, a lot of useful trace elements. As an experiment, you can use it in the preparation of pancakes. The taste won't be affected at all.
Desserts on custard dough are incredibly tender, soft and porous. These pancakes will melt in your mouth.
Few can imagine dough without the addition of eggs. But without them, pastries can turn out to be amazing in taste. It all depends on the choice and quantity of ingredients.
Housewives always use yeast if they want to feed the household with lush, tender and weightless pancakes. They can be served with jam, sour cream or condensed milk.
The whey that remains during the manufacture of the curd is usually poured out. But with the addition of this product, an amazing pancake dough is obtained.
These pancakes come out very nutritious and high-calorie. After eating them, you will not soon feel hungry. Usually for such a dish they take 0.7 kg of boiled meat or minced meat, several small onions, vegetable oil and pepper and salt. First, if it is usually meat, it goes through a meat grinder. Then the onion is cut and sent to the pan. There it is fried until golden brown and crumbled into a meat mass. Oil is poured there and salt and pepper are sprinkled. Everything is thoroughly mixed. The filling can be wrapped in pancakes when they have cooled down a bit.
A very tasty sweet filling is obtained from bananas. You need to take three pieces of this fruit, one lemon, sugar to taste and a piece of butter. Everything is done very simply: soften the butter, pour sugar into it and mix this mass. Peel bananas and mash the contents with a spoon. It is necessary to squeeze the juice from the lemon, pour it over the bananas. Combine all products and process in a blender. This filling is laid out on the finished pancake. It can be rolled up in the form of an envelope or a roll.
The ability to bake pancakes is one of the basic skills of a real cook. It would seem that there is nothing complicated in this: I made the dough thinner, and bake thin pancakes for myself. However, for some reason, pancakes often turn out to be not very thin, they are poorly removed from the pan or torn when trying to wrap something in them. For the “right” pancakes, you need the “right” recipe. Pancake batter should be much thinner than, say, pancake batter, but that's not the only difference. There are other secrets too. Pancakes on water are thinner and at the same time more durable, but on milk they are much tastier. Combine milk and water, and get the necessary consensus. But kefir is absolutely not suitable for making thin pancakes, as it gives splendor unnecessary in our case. For the same reason, thin pancakes will not work from yeast dough. It is better not to beat the eggs, but to shake them with a fork. Here are a few more tips to help you make pancakes without disappointment.
. All dough ingredients should be at room temperature.
Add the flour to the liquid, mixing gently and thoroughly. Mix by hand, trying not to use a mixer and a blender if possible: the taste from this changes somewhat.
Sift the flour before adding to the dough, preferably 2-3 times. This will saturate it with air, and give your pancakes a special tenderness.
Add a little vegetable oil to the pancake batter - so even the thinnest pancakes will not stick to the pan.
. To bake pancakes, you need to have a separate frying pan in which nothing else will be cooked, pancakes do not like this. The pan should ideally be cast iron.
A new frying pan should be calcined over a fire with coarse salt. Salt “draws” into itself all unnecessary substances from the surface of the pan. After calcining, shake off the salt, wipe the pan with a clean cloth and grease with a thin layer of vegetable oil. After baking pancakes, you cannot wash the pan, otherwise you will have to carry out the entire procedure with calcination again.
If you still have to grease the pan with vegetable oil, then do it by dipping half a raw potato or onion into it. Or prick a piece of raw bacon on a fork. It is not necessary to pour the oil with a generous hand, otherwise the pancakes will turn out to be too greasy.
Fold the finished pancakes in a pile, spreading each with melted butter.
The stuffing for pancakes is prepared separately. It can be cottage cheese mixed with sour cream and sugar. You can add raisins, finely chopped prunes, dried apricots or cheese to it (in this case, the filling will be unsweetened). The liver filling is prepared from chicken, duck or beef liver, which is first pre-fried until tender, and then chopped in a meat grinder or blender. Onions, carrots and / or chopped boiled eggs are added to the liver. You can prepare a filling of buckwheat with meat and onions. You can also add a boiled egg to it. In general, almost any filling can be wrapped in pancakes.
You can wrap the filling in pancakes in many ways. The easiest way is to fold into a triangle. Put the filling in the center of the pancake, fold it in half, then in half again. Frying such pancakes will not work, as they easily unfold. Sweet pancakes or pancakes with caviar can be rolled up. To do this, spread the filling in a thin even layer over the entire surface of the pancake and roll it up. With this wrapping, pancakes are usually not fried. Pancakes can be rolled into an open tube: put the filling on the pancake in an even strip, stepping back a little from the edge, and roll it into a tube. The tubules can be fried in a pan, baked on a baking sheet or warmed up in the microwave. And if you grease the edges of the pancake with protein and wrap them inside, you get a fairly reliable construction that can even be deep-fried. The method of folding the "envelope" is the most reliable. To do this, put the filling in the center of the pancake, fold the opposite edges so that they "meet" above the filling, and do the same with the other pair of edges. For strength, you can lubricate the edges of the pancakes with protein. Spring rolls can be made in the form of a bag: just gather the edges of the pancake together and tie with a sprig of greens.
A curious variation of spring rolls are pancakes with prikoy (or prikoy, as someone says). The filling in this case is not wrapped, but baked along with the pancake. Put the filling in the center of the pan, pour the dough over it and bake the pancake as usual. Finely chopped apples or other fruits or berries are well suited for baking, as well as chopped eggs, fried onions or minced meat. True, pancakes with spicy are no longer so thin.

It is extremely easy to make pancake dough, and you do not need to have any supernatural culinary skills and abilities. It is much more difficult to find a sensible and proven recipe, guided by which, you could bypass all the "pitfalls" in the preparation of not only dough, but also pancakes in general. To date, on the Internet you can find almost dozens of the most diverse options for cooking dough for pancakes. Some of them are very intelligent, but some, and objectively speaking, most, are written by people who obviously get to the stove once every five years.
Since it is difficult to single out a good recipe from the general mass, I decided to save my readers time and publish the so-called selection of pancake dough recipes that have been tested not only by me, but also by many of my friends and acquaintances.
Homemade pancake dough is always prepared according to the same principle. Its composition, as a rule, always includes such products: flour, eggs, salt, sugar, vegetable oil and a “liquid component”. By the liquid component, I mean water, milk, kefir, mineral water or sour cream. Depending on the choice of dairy product or water, you will end up with pancakes that will differ significantly in taste from each other.
Another criterion for pancake dough is its density. It is not uncommon to find such a description in recipes: “The dough should be like sour cream in consistency” or “liquid like viscous syrup.” As a rule, the density depends on both the fat content of the "liquid" and the amount of flour. In each of the above recipes, all the ingredients are prescribed in almost ideal proportions, so you will not have problems with the density of the dough.
When the dough for pancakes is ready, it's time to move on to frying them in a pan. According to the recipes below, thick, thin and openwork pancakes are obtained.

Since there are some three months left before the Maslenitsa holiday, be sure to add recipes to your bookmarks, because at the right time, as always, you won’t find them with fire during the day.

From the specified amount of dough, a whole slide of pancakes is obtained, enough for the whole family.
