Liver is one of the most useful meat by-products. Properly cooked, it turns out tender and has a unique taste. It has found wide application in cooking. Hot and cold snacks are made from it, it is used as one of the main ingredients for salads, and the filling for pies, pies and pancakes is prepared from it.
The filling for pancakes is delicious from any liver: beef, pork, chicken, turkey. There are many recipes for its preparation. Knowing the basics of the technological process, each housewife can make minced liver for pancakes according to her own recipes, surprising guests and household members with her culinary skills.
Cooking features
For some housewives, pancakes with liver are their signature dish, while for others they are not a success. The problem may not even be in choosing a recipe, but in ignorance of the basic rules for preparing liver filling. Knowing how to choose and boil the liver correctly, knowing how to make minced meat from it more juicy, you will not make mistakes, and the result of your culinary creativity will certainly not disappoint you.
- The liver of a cow, pig, or bird is suitable for preparing the filling. It is important that the product is fresh. If it looks suspiciously pale or has an unpleasant odor, it should not be used for pancake filling. These are signs of a low-quality or stale product that needs to be disposed of as soon as possible.
- Experienced housewives know that fresh and chilled food usually turns out juicier than frozen food. But the difference becomes noticeable only when defrosting was performed incorrectly. If the liver is allowed to thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature, it will remain almost as juicy as if it had not been frozen.
- Beef and pork liver often have a bitter taste. It will disappear if the product is soaked in water or milk for an hour. Soaking the liver in milk will make it additionally more tender. Chicken and turkey liver do not need to be soaked.
- Liver preparation also includes removal of the membrane and bile ducts.
- You can boil the liver for pancakes whole or cut into medium-sized pieces, since it will still have to be chopped. The smaller the pieces of liver, the faster it will cook. Beef liver in large pieces is boiled for 40 minutes, chopped - 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of the pieces). Turkey liver is cooked for the same amount of time. Pork liver is cooked a little longer: whole for 50 minutes, cut into pieces for 30 minutes. Chicken liver is the fastest to cook: 10-15 minutes. It takes 10 minutes more time to cook liver in a slow cooker than in a saucepan.
- The liver for the filling is often boiled, then passed through a meat grinder with the addition of fried vegetables, but it can also be fried and stewed along with vegetables, and then chopped. It is important to cook the product completely, since pancakes with liver filling do not fry for a long time. While cooking stuffed pancakes in a frying pan or in the oven, the minced meat only has time to warm up.
- To make the filling more aromatic, when boiling the liver, add onions, carrots, bay leaves, and black peppercorns to the broth.
You can make the filling for pancakes from liver using several recipes. The technology for preparing minced meat may have slight differences. To get the expected result, it makes sense to follow the recommendations that accompany a specific recipe.
Useful tips
Although the dishes promise to be very tasty, I would like to draw your attention to some important nuances:
- The tastiest dishes are obtained from chilled raw materials, and not from frozen ones;
- beef liver is considered leaner compared to pork liver;
- To remove the film from beef liver faster, you should rinse it in cold running water and immerse it in warm water for a couple of minutes;
- It is recommended to soak pork liver in cold milk overnight, this way you will get rid of the bitterness in the taste of ready-made dishes;
- to easily remove the film, rinse the pork offal and scald with boiling water
Also, during the cooking process you may encounter some difficulties that are typical for preparing any pancakes:
Why does the pancake stick to the frying pan? | The pan may not have warmed up properly. Try to heat it up and lubricate it with oil. If necessary, add a little oil to the pan before each bake. To make things easier, also add butter to the dough itself. |
Why do liver pancakes break or fall apart when frying? | Most likely the problem is the amount of flour and eggs used in the dough. Try adding them. After all, the recipes give recommended proportions of products. Due to the differences in flour content in gluten content or the size of eggs, they can be changed as necessary. Adding starch may help; it will not spoil the taste of the dish, but will help maintain its shape. |
Pancakes tear when turned over | Most often this happens due to the wrong choice of cookware. Or maybe you are trying to bake a treat that is too thin? |
How to turn over? | It’s more convenient for me to do this using wooden spatulas, first prying the edges in a circle, and then inserting the spatula under the entire pancake. |
How many minutes to fry? | Wait until the top side turns white, then turn it over. As a rule, this takes about 2 minutes. |

General principles of cooking
Beef liver has a huge list of beneficial properties. This product increases mental activity, improves vision and memory. When consumed regularly, the liver cleanses the body of toxins and promotes the normal functioning of the gallbladder. The product protects against varicose veins, prevents the formation of blood clots and cholesterol plaques, and also thins the blood. It is useful for women to eat beef liver to normalize hormonal levels during menstruation or menopause. The product improves skin condition. In addition, it is able to prevent the development of cancer. To add liver to your regular menu, you can make it the base of pancakes.
Such a treat, regardless of the chosen recipe, is always prepared according to a similar scheme:

- after the offal is cleared of all unnecessary things - films, veins, blood clots;
- at the next stage, the liver is crushed and turned into liquid minced meat (for this you can use a meat grinder/food processor/suitable blender attachment);

With rice
It’s delicious to add boiled rice to liver pancakes. Both round and long grain will do. Before adding cereal to the offal dough, you will need to cook it until soft and completely cooked. With rice, liver pancakes are especially satisfying and nutritious.
Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- liver (already cleansed of all excess) – half a kilo;
- onion and egg - 1 pc.;
- rice – 80-90 g;
- milk – ½ tbsp.;
- sifted flour - 2.5-3 tbsp. l.;
- salt, oil.
Sequencing
The cooking process includes several stages:
- First you need to tackle the cereal. Rice is boiled in salted water until fully cooked. You need to wait for it to soften. At the same time, the cereal should not boil and turn into porridge.
- All films and excess fat must be removed from the washed and dried liver.
- The onion should be peeled and chopped into small pieces.
- At the next stage, the vegetable must be sent along with the offal into the blender bowl. It is worth mixing the products until smooth.
- Afterwards, the base of the “dough” is filled with pre-cooked and cooled rice, the contents of a raw egg, salt, and milk. You can also take your favorite spices.
- All that remains is to pour the wheat flour through the sieve.
In a frying pan with a thick bottom, heat the vegetable oil. The liver mass will be sent into it with a spoon. Over low heat, pancakes should be fried on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. It will be enough to cook each pancake for 4-5 minutes on top and bottom. The resulting treat can be sold simply with sauces or supplemented with vegetable salad. For example, made from cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, and herbs.
Basic truths
- Serving plays an important role in serving any dish. Everything seems much more appetizing in beautiful dishes.
- Pancakes stuffed with liver can even be served at the festive table, pierced with skewers with mounted olives as a decoration.
- If you wrap hot filling in pancakes, the inside of the dish will turn out wet.
- Beef and chicken by-products make the dish more tender than pork by-products.
- It is necessary not only to remove films from pork and beef liver, but also to remove large ducts. This does not apply to turkey and chicken entrails.
Delicious fillings for pancakes
Pancakes are a unique dish: you can put almost anything you can find in them and it will turn out delicious. Fillings are divided into 2 groups: dessert and snack. From the name it’s easy to understand what type to serve with, tea or stronger drinks.
Dessert spring rolls are usually sweet, they contain cottage cheese, berries, fruits, jams, preserves, caramel and the like. Snack options are filled with salted fish, meat, chicken, minced meat, cheese and sausages, and vegetables.
Almost any food can be wrapped in pancakes
Fillings can be simple or complex. In the first option, one product is wrapped in pancakes, for example, chopped salmon. In the second, from the same fish with the help of other ingredients, and possibly heat treatment, an almost independent salad is created, for which the pancake is an excellent addition.
If the goal is to make closed pancake envelopes, then the filling should be quite thick to avoid the pancake getting soggy and juice leaking out. If the additive is a little liquid, you can put it on a pancake before serving and wrap it in a triangle. Another interesting option: place an assortment of toppings in the center of the table so that everyone can combine them to their liking.

Ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- beef liver – 670-700 g;
- milk (preferably full-fat) – ½ tbsp.;
- first-grade flour – 45-50 g;
- eggs – 2 pcs.;
- oil – 3 tbsp. l. + for frying;
- salt pepper.
Sequencing
The cooking process includes several stages:
- It is very important at stage 1 to properly prepare the liver. To do this, the offal is washed directly from blood clots with your hands. During the process, it is also necessary to remove all films from it.
- The prepared liver should be filled with ice water and left to soak right on the table. This process will take about a quarter of an hour. Afterwards, the liquid can be drained, and the offal can be blotted with paper towels.
- The already dried liver is cut into medium-sized pieces. They should be convenient for further grinding. These pieces will go into a blender bowl and blend until smooth along with full-fat milk. A meat grinder is also suitable for this purpose. It should use a nozzle with the finest grid.
- The liver mass will turn out to be liquid. You will need to pour it into a bowl and add the contents of raw eggs. Afterwards, beat until smooth and add salt. You can salt this base to taste.
- After adding vegetable fat (any) and flour previously sifted through a sieve, the mass is whipped again so that there are no lumps left in it. In addition, the oil must be evenly distributed throughout the entire mass during the process.
- The fully prepared dough is left directly on the table to “rest” for 10-12 minutes. If in the end it turns out to be too liquid, you can increase the portion of flour.
All that remains is to pour the dough in portions into a frying pan with a small amount of oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Ready-made pancakes are delicious to serve at the table just like that, but you can make a real holiday dish if you layer them on top of each other, coat them with your favorite sauce, and layer them with pieces of vegetables as an appetizer.
Classic liver pancakes

- Frying them is not difficult, but you need to get used to it. To make it easier to turn the liver pancakes, take a small-diameter dish. Heat the frying pan and lightly grease it with oil (this can be done with a brush). We distribute the dough (about half a ladle) over its entire bottom. Fry the pancake on both sides and place it on a flat surface to cool.
How to make liver pancakes from chicken liver
1. Chicken livers and hearts are thoroughly washed, after which they are passed through a meat grinder or beaten in a blender. There should be a single mass.

3. Oil is poured into a hot frying pan, then a pancake is formed from the mixture; it is best to use a small ladle. While the liver pancakes are fried, you can prepare sour cream and garlic sauce.
4. Garlic is added to the sour cream, which was initially minced or crushed in a blender. Coriander seasoning is also poured in there.
5. All pancakes are thoroughly coated with sauce. Thus, a liver cake is formed. To give the dish an attractive look, it is better to cut off the edges. These pieces will be used to decorate the top of the cake.
6. Chicken liver pancakes should be left in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Serve them on a common platter, after cutting them into squares.

To do this, we will need:
- carrots – 3 pcs.;
