Thin pancakes with milk

Cookinero 4 November 2022

Without thin pancakes in milk, our Maslenitsa is simply unthinkable! Moreover, many people prefer just this option - yeast-free. Which is not surprising, because yeast dough takes a certain time to rise. Unleavened dough cooks much faster (just give it a little rest before you start baking), and pancakes from it are especially thin and beautiful, as in the picture. The benefits are obvious! By the way, culinary historians claim that the yeast version of this dish is a later one: initially, pancakes looked more like cakes and were prepared simply from water and flour. We tested the modern version in practice, and, I must say, it was a success! Thin pancakes in milk are prepared easily and simply: we are sure that even a novice hostess will cope with them.

Thin pancakes with milk - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Almond milk, oat milk, or soy milk work well as substitutes for cow's milk. The texture may vary slightly, but the pancakes will still be delicious.
Replace regular flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure it contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour for better texture.
Stack cooled pancakes with parchment paper between each, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Yes, but the pancakes will be slightly denser. Separating and whipping the whites adds lightness, so whisk the whole eggs well to incorporate air if skipping this step.
Thaw at room temperature for 15 minutes, then warm in a toaster, skillet over low heat, or microwave (covered with a damp paper towel) for 10-15 seconds per pancake.
Try classic options like maple syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream, or lemon juice with sugar. Savory fillings like cheese, ham, or sautéed mushrooms also work beautifully.
Ensure your pan is properly heated (medium-low) and lightly greased. Wait until the edges look set and bubbles form before flipping gently with a thin spatula.
Yes! Prepare the batter (without whipping egg whites) and refrigerate overnight. Fold in whipped whites just before cooking for best results.
Omit sugar entirely or replace with a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for flavor. The pancakes will be less caramelized but still tender.
Use a well-seasoned cast-iron or nonstick skillet (8-10 inches wide) with low sides for easy flipping. A crepe pan works perfectly if you have one.
