Pancake recipes

Pancakes or nalistniki with cottage cheese according to this recipe turn out incredibly tender, filled with an airy and juicy filling. Our ancestors baked the already shaped products in the oven with butter, which gave them an original creamy taste. Nowadays, the traditional function of slow cooking in the oven is successfully handled by a regular oven.

Drinking-yogurt pancakes are remarkably delicate, thin and lacy crepes with a gentle tangy note that sets them apart from classic milk-based blini, with a more stretchy structure and an unmistakable subtle aroma. The big advantage of a yogurt-based batter is that it binds beautifully and at the same time spreads easily across the pan, so the pancakes come out with a lovely lacy edge and don't tear when rolled into tubes or folded into envelopes. To the drinking yogurt I add sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs and flour and whisk to the consistency of pourable cream; at the very end I add vegetable oil and a couple of tablespoons of boiling water for a custard-style effect. Fry on a hot lightly oiled pan. Proportions for 18-20 crepes inside.

These fluffy buttermilk oladi are the most beloved Russian mini pancakes — tall, soft, full of pretty little holes and beautifully creamy in flavor. Buttermilk is the ideal base: its natural acidity reacts with baking soda and gives the batter all the lift it needs without waiting for yeast to do its work. The batter comes together fast: whisk buttermilk with eggs, sugar, salt and flour with baking soda to the consistency of thick cream. Drop spoonfuls straight onto a hot pan and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Serve with sour cream, honey or jam. Proportions for 500 ml of buttermilk inside.

Fluffy yeast and kefir pancakes are tender, chunky homemade pancakes with golden sides, a pleasant milky tang and characteristic springiness when pressed. These are exactly the pancakes that were made in Soviet kindergartens, school cafeterias and pioneer camps, so many of us remember them from earliest childhood. The combination of yeast and kefir gives a particularly airy porous structure with little holes inside, and the right frying technique — a thin layer of oil and medium heat under a lid — gives a golden crust and a fully cooked center. To warm kefir add yeast, sugar, salt and flour and mix thoroughly to the consistency of thick sour cream. Let rest in a warm spot for 1 hour until bubbly. Fry on a hot oiled pan for 2-3 minutes per side. Proportions for 20 pancakes inside.

These thin Russian-style crepes made with sparkling water and milk turn out perfectly lacy and full of pretty little holes thanks to the bubbles in the sparkling water. Carbonated water is the secret ingredient that makes the batter especially light and airy without making the crepes fragile — they don't tear and flip easily. The batter comes together fast: whisk together milk, sparkling water, eggs, sugar, salt and flour to the consistency of thin cream, then add a splash of oil at the very end. Cook on a hot lightly oiled pan. One liter of liquid makes about 20-25 thin crepes around 22 cm across. Classic proportions and tips for perfect results inside.

Sour buttermilk is a baker's secret weapon — the more sour it is, the fluffier and lacier these Russian-style thin pancakes turn out, with that signature pattern of tiny holes on top from baking soda reacting with the acid. The batter comes together in minutes: just buttermilk, eggs, sugar, salt, flour and baking soda (no need to dissolve it first — the acid does that for you). One liter of buttermilk makes about 20-25 thin pancakes around 22 cm across. Fry them on a hot, lightly oiled pan until golden. I'll share exact proportions and the trick that keeps the pancakes from tearing when you flip them.
