Step by step cooking lean pancakes, recipe with photo:
1. Pour flour, sugar and salt into a bowl. I recommend sifting the flour through a fine sieve so that it is enriched with oxygen. This will make the pancakes more fluffy and tender.
2. Pour in drinking water at room temperature. By the way, if you use it hot, then the pancakes will turn out to be custard. Knead the dough well using a whisk or hand blender.
3. Pour vegetable oil into the dough.
4. Knead the dough again so that the butter mixes well into the whole mass. If you are worried that the pancake will not last without eggs, you can add 1 tablespoon to the dough. starch or banana puree. These products are astringent.
5. Place the pan on the stove. Lubricate the bottom with a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat well. You need to grease the pan only before baking the first pancake so that it does not turn out to be a lump. In the future, this can be omitted. Pour the dough into the pan with a ladle, twist it so that it spreads evenly in a circle. Fry the pancake over medium heat for about 2 minutes and turn over to the other side.
6. Bake the pancake on the second side for 1.5-2 minutes and remove from the pan. Bake all the pancakes in the same way and serve them to the table with any jams and marmalades. You can also fill them with any lean filling of your choice.
