Pancakes for Maslenitsa should be ruddy, round and there should be no lumps or torn pancakes.
And while there is still time before the Wide Maslenitsa begins, you can practice.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook, fourth-class baker shared the secrets of success.
First, don't skimp on a special pancake pan that heats evenly.
Secondly, keep the proportions when mixing the pancake batter.
More than 2 tablespoons of sugar per liter of dough will cause it to stick to the pan.
Third, don't panic.
If the dough is too runny and the pancakes are tearing, then one egg, ½ tablespoon of flour and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil are enough.
And if you want elastic pancakes, pour in a little boiling water.
Mix eggs with sugar, salt and butter until smooth and pour in boiling water in a thin stream.
After the mixture has cooled down a bit, pour in the milk. Add the flour and stir the dough until the lumps dissolve.
Heat a frying pan, grease with vegetable oil, fat or butter and bake the pancakes until golden brown. Enjoy!
