How to make pancakes with milk?

For pancake dough would need:
- 2.5 tbsp. milk
- 250 g flour (1 cup)
- 1-3 eggs
- 1 tbsp. l. sugar and a pinch of salt
- vegetable oil or fat for frying

How many eggs to put in the dough, everyone decides for himself. They change both the taste and properties of the dough. It is a binder that turns it into a homogeneous mass without lumps, and also provides golden brown... However, pancakes will not fall apart without eggs at all. Remember than more eggs, the denser the dough, otherwise the pancakes will be "spongy" and soft.

How to make pancakes?

The dough must be done according to all the rules. First, pour the sifted flour in a slide, make a depression in it, in separate dishes beat the eggs, then pour them into the well, then add half of the liquid (milk), and then knead with a whisk or fork, stirring all the ingredients. If you knead the dough with a spoon, then it is almost impossible to avoid lumps. After the dough has become homogeneous, you need to gradually add the butter and the remaining milk. Ideally, you should leave the dough for at least half an hour so that it comes up a little, and only then start frying.

If you have at hand kitchen appliances, then the cooking process can be facilitated. In this case, it is still better to sift the flour. This will make the dough saturated with oxygen. Beat sugar, salt, as well as half of all the liquid in a bowl with a hand blender or mixer, then add flour. After the dough is beaten until smooth, add the butter and the rest of the liquid.

However, for the first pancake, as practice shows, it is necessary to do this. In addition, if you use an uncoated pan, you still have to use oil. And you don't need to pour oil directly from the bottle, otherwise you will have to pour out the excess from the pan - a pancake in excess can simply slide to the side. You can use a special spray bottle or a piece of frozen animal fat that is dipped in oil and rubbed in a pan.

Pour some dough and spread it over the entire surface of the pan, moving your hand to control the dough in the pan. At the same time, do not allow the edges to stick with the spatula.

Note that if you add a teaspoon of slaked lemon juice or vinegar, soda, and add flour such that the dough has a consistency thick sour cream, then on a lower heat you can bake delicious pancakes... They should be poured into the pan with a spoon. If you bake completely without oil, then the pancakes will turn out flat and dry, and if you fry in oil, they will be golden brown and fluffy.

Frying should be started in a hot skillet, and then the heat must be reduced. A regular frying pan can be processed as follows: drip vegetable oil on it, heat it, remove from heat, add salt and rub it over a frying pan with a piece of cloth (by the way, it should not be Teflon). After that, the vessel should be washed.

What if the pancakes burn? Highly frequent question, which is asked by the hostess. The answer is simple - a lot depends on the frying pan. You should treat it with salt or buy a special pancake. Remember that all utensils will wear out over time.

If the pancakes are torn, then you most likely did not respect the proportions. Planned thick - shifted baking powder, thin - flour.
