Custard pancakes "3 glasses"
Serves: 15-18
Calorie: 170 kcal/100g
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Cooking difficulty: low
Ingredients:
- 1 glass of milk
- 1 glass of flour
- 1 glass of boiling water
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. l. sugar
- 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil
- a pinch of salt
Step-by-step recipe:
- Beat two eggs in a deep bowl, add sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.
- Pour in a glass of milk and gradually add the sifted flour. Stir to avoid lumps (the dough will be thick at this stage).
- While constantly and intensively stirring the dough, pour in a glass of boiling water. This step will “brew” the flour, making the pancakes elastic and tender.
- Add the vegetable oil, mix again and let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Fry the pancakes in a well-heated frying pan on both sides until golden brown. Thanks to the oil in the composition, you only need to grease the pan before the first pancake.
Sweet combinations
- Classic cheese: homemade cottage cheese, grated with sugar, a pinch of vanilla and raisins. For a more delicate texture, you can add a spoonful of sour cream or cream.
- Apple with cinnamon: finely chopped apples, simmered in butter with sugar and cinnamon until soft.
- Chocolate-nut: filling made of chocolate paste, chopped hazelnuts and banana slices.
- Poppy seed: grated poppy seeds with sugar and honey (tastes great if the pancakes are folded into triangles).
Savory options
- Mushroom with chicken: fried mushrooms with onions, combined with boiled chicken fillet and a spoonful of cream cheese.
- With red fish: lightly salted salmon or trout, cream cheese (cream cheese) and fresh dill.
- Ham and cheese: thin slices of ham and hard cheese that melts as the pancake is heated in a pan.
Special ice cream serving
To turn ordinary pancakes into a real dessert, serve them hot with a scoop of cold ice cream.
Tip: Classic ice cream or vanilla ice cream are best. The temperature contrast between the hot pancake and the cold ice cream creates an incredible taste effect.
