When you want something unusual and your soul asks for a holiday, prepare lace pancakes, tender, transparent, covered with small holes. The aerobatics are openwork pancakes with beautiful patterns that every housewife can make if she masters a few secrets. Thin lace pancakes will decorate the festive table for Maslenitsa, and to make them beautiful and impressive, you can train during the Maslenitsa week.

How to prepare dough for lace pancakes

Sometimes the dough seems to be made correctly, but there are no holes. The pancakes come out ruddy, beautiful, but completely smooth and not porous. The fact is that the dough for holey pancakes is prepared in a special way, so remember the three main secrets of making delicious lacy pancakes.

First secret: dough with oxygen

Holes are formed from the saturation of the dough with air bubbles, which burst during frying, forming voids in the dough. This can be achieved in different ways, for example by kneading the dough with live yeast. However, dough with air bubbles can be prepared with anything - milk, kefir, whey or water, the main thing is to add slaked soda to it. The more soda you put in, the more holes there will be. But don’t overdo it, because pancakes with a soda flavor are probably not included in your plans. By the way, so that the soda is not felt in the pancake batter, be sure to extinguish it with vinegar and not in a spoon, but in a small cup, then less vinegar will be needed. Porous pancakes can be prepared without soda - with carbonated water, beer, koumiss, ayran or kefir, which is a product of lactic acid fermentation, so it contains gas. However, some housewives argue that kefir is still better to combine with soda. Sifting flour and beating the dough for a long time with a whisk or blender also gives excellent results.

The second secret is infusing the dough

While the oxygenated dough rests, air bubbles loosen it even more. In addition, the fermentation process continues and new bubbles are constantly formed. Therefore, it is recommended to leave the dough for an hour and then bake the pancakes.

The third secret is the liquid consistency of the dough

The thinner the layer of dough that you pour into the pan, the more openwork and transparent the pancakes turn out. It is clear that you cannot bake a thin pancake with holes from thick dough, you will simply end up with a thick and tasty pancake, which is also not bad, but now we are talking about lace pancakes. So, pancake dough, which resembles liquid sour cream in consistency, should be poured into the pan in a thin layer.

Recipe for lace pancakes with milk

Heat a little liter of milk, up to 40 degrees, add 3 eggs, ½ tsp. salt, 3 tbsp. l. sugar or a little less if the pancakes are served with savory filling. Beat the dough with a blender until fluffy, and then add 1 tsp. slaked soda and 3 cups of flour, continuing to beat - there should not be a single lump in the dough. At the very end, add 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and leave the dough for an hour. It should brew, become saturated with oxygen and become even more bubbly. Fry on both sides in a hot, oiled pan, turning as soon as holes appear.

Pancakes on kefir with boiling water

Some housewives prepare pancake dough with boiling water, claiming that it is well saturated with oxygen, resulting in thin and delicate pancakes.

Beat 2 eggs well with a blender with a pinch of salt, and then, without stopping whisking, pour in a glass of boiling water. Do not be afraid that the eggs will curdle - this will not happen at high speed of beating, moreover, a very fluffy foam will appear. Don't stop and, while continuing to beat, pour in a glass of low-fat kefir. As you already understand, you need to continue whisking further. At the same time, add 1 tsp into the dough. slaked soda, then 1-2 tbsp. l. sugar and 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. With the blender running, add 1-1½ cups of sifted wheat flour in small portions until the dough resembles liquid sour cream. The pancakes turn out golden, lacy and very tasty.

Pancakes with holes in mineral water

Mix ½ liter of highly carbonated mineral water with a pinch of salt and 2 tsp. sugar, then add 3 eggs and 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil. After thoroughly kneading, add 1 cup of flour and beat the dough with a whisk or blender until smooth. Soda is not needed in this recipe, since mineral water will saturate the dough with oxygen, and this will be enough to make lace.

Spongy yeast pancakes

Mash 30 g of fresh yeast well, dissolve it in a quarter glass of warm milk (50 ml), add 1 tsp. sugar, a pinch of salt and place the dough in a warm place. After half an hour, beat 2 eggs with 2 tbsp. l. sugar, pour the risen dough into them, stir well, combine with 950 ml of warm milk and 500 g of sifted flour. Beat the mixture with a blender and pour 2 tbsp into the dough. l. vegetable oil. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave for another 2-3 hours, stirring every 30-40 minutes as soon as the dough begins to rise. It is enough to do this 3-4 times, and then you can fry the pancakes in a greased frying pan.

Openwork lean pancakes without eggs

Lacy pancakes can be baked without eggs. To do this, mix 2½ cups flour, 3 tbsp. l. sugar, ½ tsp. salt and soda. Add ½ liter of milk and 2 tbsp to this mixture. l. vegetable oil. Whisk everything well, and boil ½ liter of milk in a separate saucepan. Pour hot milk into the dough in a thin stream, stirring constantly, and then melt 65 g of butter in a frying pan and combine with the dough. Fry the pancakes in the same frying pan where the oil was heated, and it is advisable that it has a non-stick coating, otherwise the pancakes may stick.

Lacy pancakes with patterns: recipe with photos

Let's try to cook pancakes with beautiful openwork patterns. It's not as difficult as you think. The dough for thin lace pancakes for drawing in a frying pan can be made according to any recipe, so we will prepare it with milk.

Ingredients: 1 glass of milk, 1 tbsp. l. sugar, 2 eggs, 60 g flour, 1 pinch of salt, 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

Cooking method:

1. Heat the milk, add sugar, salt and eggs.
2. Beat the mass with a blender until fluffy foam.
3. Add the sifted flour to the milk-egg mixture and beat thoroughly again so that there are no lumps left. The amount of flour can be increased or decreased until the dough resembles liquid sour cream.
4. Pour vegetable oil into the dough and stir well again.
5. Use a hot awl to make a small hole in the lid of a plastic bottle, pour the dough into it and screw tightly. You can use a ketchup bottle - at least you won't have to puncture it.
6. Grease a hot non-stick frying pan with oil and draw something very simple to warm up with, like a grate.

Hearts with curls look very beautiful and romantic. For children, you can draw something more interesting and funny to increase their appetite. Lacy pancakes can be served very beautifully and originally, for example, decorating the holes with berries. Beautiful openwork pancakes with a pattern look festive!

How to draw with pancake dough in a hot frying pan

Tip 1. Make sure there are no lumps in the dough, otherwise one of them will get stuck in the opening of the bottle and the pattern will not work out.

Tip 2. The hole in the bottle should not be very large and not very small - approximately 2-3 mm in diameter. Thin lines, of course, look more elegant, but such a pancake may tear when turned over.

Tip 3. Don't heat the pan too hot, otherwise the pancake will burn long before you draw it.

Tip 4. Draw quickly so that the pancake bakes evenly and does not have time to burn.

Tip 5. Connect curls together more often to make the pattern more stable.

If something went wrong...

Especially lace, it’s a delicate matter, and in the process of culinary experiments you may encounter difficulties. To avoid possible mistakes, you need to know some tricks.

Why do pancakes tear? Most likely, you did not let the dough sit, so the gluten did not have time to react with other ingredients. Maybe there are not enough eggs or flour in the dough, because when the moisture evaporates from the pancakes in the pan, almost nothing remains of them - it is impossible to turn such pancakes over. Excess sugar and vanillin also compromise the integrity of the dough, so don’t overdo it with additives. It’s better to add just a little sugar to the dough and serve the pancakes with sweet sauce.

Why do pancakes stick? A poorly heated frying pan can cause all the pancakes to turn out lumpy, and if the frying pan is not suitable for baking pancakes at all, it is better not to use it so as not to overheat the food.

Pancakes can also stick if there is no oil added to the batter. To make the pancakes appetizing and truly tasty, it is better to use high-quality oil. It is natural, without additives or preservatives and, most importantly, odorless!

Why do pancakes turn out dry and tough? A large number of eggs makes pancakes tough, although sometimes this is not even the case. Sometimes it’s difficult to explain why you follow a recipe, but the finished dough resembles rubber. There is an easy way to make lace pancakes tender and soft. As soon as the pancake is baked, grease it with butter, place it in a plate and cover it with another plate. Or place pancakes in a heap in a frying pan and cover tightly with a lid. The pancakes will smolder from their own heat, becoming softer and more tender.

Now you know how to make lace pancakes, all you have to do is practice. It is quite possible that you will have to prepare many unsuccessful openwork products until you become a real virtuoso of “pancake weaving”. Involve your children in pancake creativity - they will surely enjoy drawing funny faces on the pan with dough. There is still time before Maslenitsa - you can learn!

They turn out not only very beautiful, but also tasty. It is also worth noting that for their preparation a standard set of products is used (for such a dish), but in more unusual proportions.

preparing a delicious and beautiful dessert

Required ingredients:

• fresh milk (preferably country milk) - 3 full glasses;
• large chicken eggs - 6 pcs.;
• granulated sugar - 3 large spoons;
• baking soda - a pinch;
• wheat flour - 6 large heaped spoons;
• sunflower oil - 20 ml;
• table salt - a pinch;
• butter - 100 g (for greasing pancakes).

Dough preparation process

Openwork pancakes turn out very beautiful due to the fact that a large number of eggs are added to the base during the cooking process. They need to be broken, the whites separated from the yolks, and placed in different dishes. You need to add 3 large tablespoons of granulated sugar to the yolks, and then mash them thoroughly with a fork. Next, you need to sift the wheat flour and mix it with salt and baking soda. After this, fresh milk and a little vegetable oil should be poured into the base. Now you need to mix all the ingredients and gradually add the prepared flour.

In order for the openwork pancakes to fully correspond to their name, it is also recommended to add proteins to them. However, before this, they should be thoroughly beaten using a mixer or blender with a whisk. After this, the foam mass must be carefully poured into the dough, and then mixed again and left aside for a couple of minutes.

Openwork pancakes and the process of their preparation

To fry such a beautiful dessert, you should use a shallow frying pan, which must be heated over high heat. To make the first pancake perfect, it is recommended to add a couple of tablespoons of sunflower oil to the pan and wait until it boils. Next, you need to scoop up the airy base with a ladle and pour it into the frying pan. To make the openwork pancakes thin and with holes, the dough should be quickly distributed over the surface of the dish. After this, the fire can be slightly reduced.

When the bottom is browned, turn them over with a spatula. It is recommended to lay out the finished dessert in a stack, but before doing this, carefully grease both sides with butter. As a result of such actions, you will definitely get beautiful openwork pancakes that even the person who watches his figure will not be able to refuse.

Proper serving to the table

It is recommended to serve pancakes that have been browned and greased with butter only hot. Also, with such a delicious dessert, guests should be presented with hot tea, fresh honey, condensed milk, jam, marmalade or other sweets.

Helpful advice

If you find it quite problematic to grease pancakes with pieces of butter using a fork, then it is recommended to melt some cooking oil on the stove and then use a special brush. You can also add a little honey to this product during the melting process.

Many housewives consider it their duty to learn how to cook thin, delicate pancakes. Since time immemorial, this dish has been highly valued in Slavic cuisine. Initially, pagans baked round, ruddy products, calling them sacrificial bread, but even the secret of kneading the dough was kept secret. Now everyone can prepare delicious openwork pancakes with milk or water.

Thin pancakes with milk are one of the favorite dishes of both children and adults

We invite you to try a proven milk-based recipe, equipped with step-by-step photos, because this is how pancakes were traditionally made. The finished product will have a neutral taste; it can be eaten as an independent dish or stuffed with various fillings.

To bake openwork pancakes with milk, we will need:

• Milk – 2.5 tbsp.
• Flour – 1.5 tbsp.
• Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
• Vegetable oil – 3 tbsp. l.
• Sugar – 1 tsp.
• Salt – 1/2 tsp.

First, in a deep bowl, combine milk with eggs, sugar and salt. Beat the mixture thoroughly with a mixer or whisk until smooth. Then add a little vegetable oil and mix the ingredients thoroughly again so that not a drop of fat remains on the surface of the liquid. Add flour in small portions; the mixture should turn out creamy and flow well. Next, heat the frying pan, grease it with oil and begin baking thin openwork pancakes over low heat.

You need to act very quickly: pour in the dough and make sure that it spreads evenly across the bottom. After frying the pancake on one side, quickly turn it over to the other. Don’t forget to periodically grease the pan with vegetable oil so that our thin dough products with holes turn out to be a pleasant golden color and do not burn.

Thin pancakes are good with sour cream and different fillings

You can make openwork pancakes with a filling that the cook chooses, taking into account the individual taste preferences of loved ones or guests. For example, a filling of sausage, fried mushrooms, mozzarella and eggs will turn any pancake recipe into a culinary masterpiece; the dish will become more nutritious and tastier. Curd, custard or fruit and berry fillings are suitable as dessert.

Fermented milk option

There are many varieties of pancakes made with milk, including sour milk. In the absence of the latter, you can use any other fermented milk product. Openwork pancakes made with whey, kefir, fermented baked milk and sour milk will be equally tasty, rosy and very tender.

List of ingredients:

• Sour milk – 1 tbsp.
• Sugar – 4 tbsp. l.
• Chicken egg – 1 pc.
• Flour – 100 g.
• Sunflower oil – 15 g.
• Vanillin to taste.

First, grind the egg with sugar and add sour milk. Bring the resulting mass to a homogeneous state. While continuing to knead the dough for openwork pancakes, make sure that it does not “run away”; if the bowl is not enough, pour the mixture into a large container. Next, add vanilla to taste, flour and sunflower oil (melted butter will also work).

Before baking delicious hole-in-one pancakes, heat the pan well. It is advisable that the dishes have a thick bottom and a non-stick coating. Then reduce the heat and carefully distribute a portion of the dough. As soon as the pancake is baked, lift it with a spatula and carefully turn it over to the other side. Pancakes made with sour milk go well with jam, sour cream or sweet sauce.

Real jam

Making custard openwork pancakes with boiling water and milk is as easy as shelling pears. In principle, the dish is prepared not only on the basis of dairy products; ordinary water is suitable for this purpose. The bottom line is that flour poured with boiling water or milk is better able to retain moisture, which makes custard pancakes with holes fluffy and airy.

• Vanillin to taste.

Beat eggs, vanilla and sugar, add milk and mix well. In a separate bowl, sprinkle the wheat flour with baking powder and add to the egg mixture. It doesn’t matter whether you bake pancakes with sour milk, fresh milk or mineral water, the consistency of the dough should always resemble sour cream. Next, pour boiled water into it, stir and add vegetable oil at the very end. After a couple of minutes, we begin to fry custard pancakes in milk and boiling water.

The secret of porous pancakes lies in the following: if the ingredients are vigorously beaten, then pimples form in the dough, which under the influence of high temperature burst and become holes. To turn a simple pancake into thin patterned napkins, you need to follow the suggested recipe step by step, preferably using a mixer.

Fast and convenient

Housewives often take an original approach to baking porous dishes - they bake pancakes from a bottle. This rather practical method will help save your time.

Required ingredients:

• Milk – 650 ml.
• Chicken egg – 2 pcs.
• Flour – 10 tbsp. l.
• Vegetable oil – 3 tbsp. l.
• Sugar – 1 tbsp. l.
• Salt – 1/2 tsp.

First, take a dry 1.5 liter bottle, use a funnel to pour flour, sugar and salt into it, add eggs and butter. Then screw the lid tightly and shake the contents thoroughly for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Convenience lies in the process of baking pancakes. Firstly, pouring the mixture from a bottle is a little easier than from a ladle. Secondly, if you make a small hole in a plastic container with a knitting needle, then an experienced pancake cook will be able to prepare openwork napkins of a wide variety of shapes. Remember, the thinner the layer of dough in the pan, the better.
