Russian "red" pancakes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While all-purpose flour works best, you can substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version. Be aware that the texture might be slightly different, so adjust the liquid if needed.
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat before serving for the best taste.
Yes, you can replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg, let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.) and substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative in equal amounts.
The best way to reheat them is in a skillet over medium-low heat or in a toaster oven until warmed through. You can also microwave them, but they may become a bit soggy.
Yes, you can freeze them. Let the pancakes cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen.
Traditionally, these pancakes are served with sour cream, jam, honey, or fresh berries. You can also try them with sweetened condensed milk or a dollop of yogurt.

The name 'red' pancakes is traditional and doesn't refer to the color. If desired, you can add a small amount (1-2 teaspoons) of beet juice powder or a natural red food coloring for a reddish hue, but this is optional.
