Fluffy pancakes with holes

Cookinero 24 November 2022

Despite the fact that lush pancakes with “holes” are made from unleavened dough, they turn out to be very similar to classic yeast ones. The thing is that the composition has a “secret ingredient”: sweet sparkling water.” It is she who provides the dough with a special splendor, which in the process of baking pancakes is transformed into “holes” so dear to every Russian heart. Looks very appetizing! And also lush pancakes with “holes” are very satisfying, so you should not overload them with fatty sour cream or condensed milk: light fruit and berry syrups are enough.

Fluffy pancakes with holes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute lemonade with club soda or sparkling water for a similar fluffy texture. For a slightly different flavor, you can use buttermilk, but you may need to adjust the amount of dry ingredients to maintain the desired consistency.
Cooked pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. To keep them fresh, store them in an airtight container. Reheat in a microwave, oven, or toaster oven for the best results.
Yes, you can make these pancakes gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add a small amount separately (about 1/2 teaspoon per cup of flour) for proper texture.
The holes come from the reaction of the baking powder and/or soda with the liquid ingredients. Letting the batter rest for 20 minutes allows these gases to form, resulting in those airy bubbles. Avoid overmixing the batter, as this can deflate the bubbles.
Yes, these pancakes freeze well. Let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster, oven, or microwave.
Besides syrup, consider serving these pancakes with fresh berries, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, nut butter, or a dusting of powdered sugar. For a savory option, try topping them with a fried egg and some bacon.
Simply halve or quarter all the ingredients proportionally to make a smaller batch. For example, if you want half the amount, use half the flour, half the egg, half the sugar, and so on.
Yes, substitute the milk with a dairy-free milk alternative like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk. Ensure your vegetable spread is also dairy free to make the recipe completely dairy free.
