Classic American pancakes (close relatives of our traditional fritters) can be prepared in a variety of ways – with milk or yogurt, protein meringue or banana paste.

Recipes based on fermented milk turn out especially delicious:

classic sour milk;
kefir;
fermented baked milk;
sour milk;
sour cream;
yogurt (Greek or sweet);
traditional "Snowball of Buryatia".

You can even make pancakes using sour milk, which is no longer suitable for boiling.

Pancakes made with sour milk or kefir turn out incredibly fluffy, tender, and delicious, and they're so easy to prepare that even a novice cook can handle the task.

Please note! Most pancake recipes made with sour milk, kefir, or yogurt contain baking soda or baking powder. For highly acidic products, sodium bicarbonate is recommended, but in recipes using neutral yogurt, it's best to omit the baking soda and replace it with baking powder.

We discussed in more detail the differences between these two products and whether baking powder can be replaced with soda in any recipe in the article “What can replace baking soda in baking?".

Our recipe calls for making homemade pancakes with traditional sour milk, so we'll be making the batter with a small amount of baking soda and baking powder. However, you can make similar pancakes with snow or yogurt by substituting baking powder for the baking soda.

Pancakes with sour milk

A quick homemade recipe for pancakes with sour milk

Ingredients

Servings

Sour milk

250 G
Sugar

3 tbsp
Flour

180 G
Egg C1

2 pcs
Vanilla sugar

10 G
Salt

1 pinch
Soda

0.7 tsp
Baking powder

10 G
Vegetable oil

2 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Let's start making our fluffy pancakes by adding 2/3 teaspoon of baking soda to a cup of sour milk, stirring well, and letting it react. The sour milk base will foam and expand in volume.

Step 2

While the baking soda is dissolving, break 2 eggs (yolks + whites) into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, classic sugar + vanilla sugar and beat with a whisk until a fluffy, homogeneous mass is obtained.

Step 3

Regardless of whether you prepare the egg base with a whisk or a mixer, you will get the result as in the photo (the yolk prevents the mixture from acquiring the fluffy texture of a meringue).

Step 4

Pour sour milk into the egg base and mix well.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. This will allow us to fry the pancakes in the pan without the need for additional oiling.

Step 6

Sift the flour and combine with the baking powder before adding to the dough.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry mixture to the liquid base, gradually kneading the dough. The consistency should be medium, allowing the dough to be spooned into the pan without spreading too much.

Step 8

Next, heat the frying pan and begin frying the pancakes, frying each pancake on both sides until a beautiful golden brown crust forms.

A non-stick pan doesn't need any greasing at all. For standard uncoated pans, it's best to lightly oil them with vegetable oil before adding the first pancake.

Step 9

All that's left to do is arrange the homemade pancakes in a beautiful pile and decorate them to your liking with banana, fresh berries, honey, condensed milk, jam, or any ready-made store-bought topping.

Pancakes made with sour milk, kefir, snezhok, or yogurt should be stored in the refrigerator, after cooling them and placing them in an airtight, dry container. The shelf life of the finished product is up to 3 days. For longer storage, pancakes can be frozen.
