Pancakes on milk - the general principles of cooking
Pancakes on milk - one of the most common recipes used by housewives. Such pancakes are thin, light and very tasty. Wheat flour is most often used, it is also possible to take buckwheat or oatmeal.
The thickness of the pancakes depends on the flour used. The thinnest pancakes in milk are made from wheat flour. Much depends on the quality of flour - it is desirable to take products of the highest grade and fine grinding. From flour of the second grade or flour with bran, thicker and fluffy pancakes will be obtained.
From oatmeal or buckwheat flour pancakes turn out the most loose. You can also experiment and try to make pancakes with milk from a mixture of different types of flour.
Pancakes with milk can be cooked with or without yeast. In the latter case, add soda or baking powder to the dough. After the dough has reached the desired consistency, it is time to bake the pancakes themselves. Perhaps the first time you can not bake the perfect pancake.
However, for the third or fourth time smooth and tidy pancakes will come out. When pouring dough, the pan should be kept tilted and making circular motions so that the dough is evenly distributed on the surface. After browning the underside of the pancake, hook it with a spatula and turn it over to the other side. Fry pancakes on each side until golden brown.
Pancakes are baked only on a heated pan, greased with butter or vegetable oil.
On the finished pancake be sure to put a piece of butter - after that the pancakes will become more elastic and tender. They serve pancakes in milk with sour cream, sugar, honey or jam. You can also wrap in pancakes any filling: cottage cheese with raisins or dried apricots, meat, chicken with mushrooms, cabbage with rice and egg, smoked chicken or salmon or any sweet fillings.
Pancakes with milk - preparing food and dishes
The success of cooking pancakes with milk depends largely on the type of dishes used. It is best to take a cast iron skillet for baking.
If it is not available, any pan with a thick bottom and a non-stick coating will do. The size of the pan should match the desired diameter of pancakes. The dishes will also need a bowl in which the dough, scoop, spatula, fork or whisk, knife and brush will be kneaded to grease the pan. From the additional devices you will need a mixer - with its help you can easily stir the dough and break all the lumps.
Preparation of products consists in sifting flour, measuring the required amount of sugar, salt and other bulk products. Milk is usually heated.
If yeast is used, they are diluted in a small amount of warm milk or water. You also need to melt the butter in advance.

Pancakes with milk - secrets and tips from the best chefs
- If the pancakes are constantly torn, try adding more flour to the dough. If, on the contrary, they are very dense and thick, it means that you need to pour in some warm milk;
- If pancakes are baked for the filling, it is better to fry the pancake on one side only. The filling is laid out in such a case on the fried side. The other side is browned in a pan or oven.
The most common mistakes in the process of cooking pancakes with milk:
- Too intense whipping of the dough leads to the fact that the pancakes can become "rubber";
- If the soda has not been sufficiently redeemed, ready-made pancakes can have an unpleasant taste;
- You need to correctly determine the number of eggs. An overabundance in egg dough will make pancakes look like an omelet or scrambled eggs, and with a lack of eggs the pancakes can fall apart;
- To the edges of pancakes are not burnt, you do not need to shift the sugar in the dough;
- Too much butter in the dough will make the pancakes too fat, shiny and tasteless.
