The classic recipe for pancakes made with fermented milk is familiar to many cooks. But not everyone knows that, in addition to regular kefir, sour milk, sour cream, or yogurt, pancake batter can also be made with fermented baked milk.

Homemade pancakes with fermented baked milk, made in a dry frying pan, are very fluffy and airy, with a porous texture. The finished dough tastes very similar to a tender, moist sponge cake.

Ryazhenka is the recipe's secret ingredient, as it has several significant differences from other fermented milk bases used in pancake batter. Due to the specific preparation process, ryazhenka possesses:

a brighter, slightly sweet taste;
homogeneous creamy base;
not high acidity.

You can make delicious pancakes with ryazhenka using baking soda, but our recipe calls for baking powder. This ingredient allows for the desired texture regardless of the acidity of the base and ensures that the finished dish doesn't have an unpleasant aftertaste, which can occur if the baking soda isn't completely dissolved.

Below, we'll show you step-by-step how to quickly make fluffy pancakes with fermented baked milk for breakfast, and offer a detailed recipe with photos so even a novice cook can make this delicious treat.

Ingredients

Servings

Ryazhenka

200 ml
Flour

120 G
Egg C1

2 pcs
Sugar

1.5 tbsp
Salt

1 pinch
Baking powder

1 tsp
Vanilla sugar

1 tsp
Vegetable oil

2 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Before you begin kneading the dough, the ryazhenka needs to be warmed up slightly. It's best to remove all ingredients from the refrigerator ahead of time so they're at approximately the same temperature and not cold.

Next, pour a cup of fermented baked milk into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, 2 eggs, and vanilla sugar. Mix everything thoroughly with a whisk until smooth.

Step 2

Mix flour with baking powder and sift into the liquid base.

Step 3

When the dough becomes homogeneous, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and knead well again.

Step 4

Fry the pancakes in a well-heated frying pan without adding oil. Use a low-medium heat setting, but adjust the heat according to your technique so the pancakes are cooked through but not burnt.

Step 5

Each pancake must be fried on both sides until golden brown, as in the photo.

Step 6

Pancakes are often piled high and decorated in a variety of ways. They can be served warm or chilled.

At room temperature, pancakes made with sour milk can be stored for up to 24 hours, but they will stay fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Just make sure to pack the finished, cooled pancakes in an airtight container.

Pancakes can be served with banana, fresh berries and fruits, as well as jam, preserves, natural honey, condensed milk, whipped cream, hot chocolate and any ready-made toppings.
