Pancakes with dill

Description

Yeast pancakes with dill are a real gift to all lovers of Russian cuisine: the dish turns out to be hearty, appetizing and fragrant. The dough is prepared in a rather traditional way, in a sponge way, which can hardly surprise a good housewife. But the technology of baking for many seems outlandish, although it was once widespread. Its essence is simple: the filling is poured with dough (or laid out on top of it, and then covered with another thin layer of dough), after which the pancake is fried on both sides. You can use a variety of products as a topping, for example, onions, ham, smoked fish, vegetables ... We suggest making pancakes with fragrant dill and hard-boiled eggs, because it is tasty and budget-friendly.

Cooking

Step 1

Prepare dill pancake dough. Heat milk (150 ml) to 35°C, add a teaspoon of sugar and crumbled yeast. Stir and leave for 10 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.

Step 2

Sift flour. Mix most of it (about 300 g) with 350 ml of milk until a mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Pour in the yeast mixture. Mix thoroughly, cover with a towel and leave the dough in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.

Step 3

Melt butter for pancake dough and let cool. Separate egg yolks from whites. Rub with remaining sugar and salt. When the dough rises, add butter, yolks, remaining flour and milk to it.

Step 4

Prepare the pancake topping. Hard boil the eggs (10 minutes), cool, peel and finely chop. Wash the dill and pat dry. Finely chop, combine with eggs. Salt to taste and stir.

Step 5

Thoroughly knead the pancake dough with a mixer. Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1.5 hours. Beat the whites with a mixer into a strong foam. Add to the batter, mixing from bottom to top.

Step 6

Let the dough rise (about 30 minutes) and immediately start baking pancakes, periodically greasing the pan with oil. This should be done in a special way. Put a little seasoning in the pan and immediately pour the dough (the amount depends on the size of the container). Brown the pancake on one side, then flip and fry on the other.
