Pancakes made from rye and wheat flour, recipe with kefir

Pancakes are a dish that has a huge number of fans. Both children and adults love it, and in a variety of variations. Some people like savory pancakes, brushed with butter, while others prefer sweet ones, served with jam, syrup or sprinkled with chocolate chips. In general, as many people as there are, so many tastes. One of the variants of this much-loved dish is pancakes made from rye flour. There are quite a lot of recipes. Let's look at them, but first let's understand the general rules for preparing food.

Preparing the dough

It doesn't matter what kind of flour is used in pancakes. Difficulties can arise with any test. In order to successfully prepare a dish, housewives must know about the most common problems. One of them is the lack of softness and fluffiness in thick pancakes and the lack of delicacy in thin pancakes. A similar problem occurs when the dough is prepared incorrectly.

To ensure perfect pancakes, experienced housewives advise sifting the flour before kneading the dough. Thanks to this process, it becomes more airy as it is saturated with oxygen. It makes kneading dough easier. It is also recommended to add soda or baking powder to the pancake mixture, and after kneading, leave the dough on the table for at least 15 minutes before baking.

Some housewives recommend adding a spoonful of cognac to the dough. Their observations showed that this ingredient affects the density of unleavened pancakes, makes them more airy, and gives them an unusual, pleasant taste and aroma.

Preparing the pan for baking

The second frequently occurring problem is that pancakes (made from rye flour or any other) are difficult to remove from the pan, stick to it, and tear. To avoid this, experienced cooks add sunflower oil to the dough. Only a few tablespoons are required. Next, grease the pan once with oil. This is done just in case, so that the first pancake is not lumpy, as in the famous proverb. Before baking the following products, the pan is no longer greased with oil.

Housewives who want to get pancakes that taste unusual can grease the frying pan with a piece of lard. However, when choosing this “shrub”, it is important to remember that the dish will ultimately increase its calorie content significantly. Obese people are not recommended to eat such pancakes. If you have problems with excess weight, it is best to use soybean or olive oil. Both ingredients help burn fat.

Rye pancakes with milk: the first stage in preparation

This dish is prepared from standard ingredients without adding any extra products that can radically change the taste. This is what our grandmothers did. So, to knead the dough you will need:

yeast – 40 g;
rye and wheat flour – 700 g and 300 g;
1 liter milk package;
water – 400 ml;
eggs – 2 pieces;
melted butter – 100 g;
granulated sugar – 50 g;
a small amount of salt - about 5 g.

Prepare all the ingredients for making pancakes from rye flour with milk. Pour water into a deep container. Add yeast and stir the mixture. Next, sift all the wheat flour through a sieve into a container. Next, add rye flour, but not the entire specified volume, but only 500 g. Stir the resulting dough (dough) until smooth. Cover the container with something. A napkin or towel works great. Place the dough in a warm place for about 1.5 hours (or an hour).

When the dough comes up...

1.5 hours after kneading, you can proceed to the next stage of preparing pancakes from rye flour with milk. Stir the increased volume of the dough. Add granulated sugar, salt, and crushed egg yolks to it. Add only 75 g of ghee. The remaining amount of this ingredient will be useful to you (you can use sunflower oil instead).

After stirring the dough, pour the remaining rye flour into the container. At the end, stir the dough until all lumps disappear. Pour warmed milk into it in a thin stream. Cover the container again and leave in a warm place. After this, the dough should rise 3 times. Stir it after each rise. At the very end, before baking, add the beaten egg whites. The dough is ready! You can start making pancakes from rye flour. During baking, grease the pan with melted butter if necessary.

My video recipe

Pancakes made from rye flour can be made sweet and eaten with sour cream, condensed milk, berries, and milk. Or you can cook them with cumin, garlic and coriander, put a transparent slice of red fish and a sprig of parsley, for example, on a soft thick pancake. Or a slice of baked meat, boiled pork, and with pickles! Or a herring, a piece of good sausage!.. Rye pancakes go well with such fillings, which means you need to bake them during Maslenitsa week.

I prepare the dough for rye pancakes using the “custard method” (easy, fast and without lumps). The pancakes it makes are tender, holey, a little plumper than the usual wheat ones, soft and tasty. I don't use baking soda/baking powder. Milk can be replaced with kefir (there will be a slight sourness, like rye bread) or cream (more delicate, mild taste).

Get out the pans!

Recipe using kefir

It is not necessary to mix pancakes with regular milk. In any recipe it can be replaced with kefir. Thanks to this ingredient, pancakes acquire a special taste and softness. In addition, kefir makes food more beneficial for the intestines. Here is the list of ingredients for preparation:

finely ground rye flour – 4 cups;
water – 250 ml;
dry yeast - 3 tbsp. l.;
fresh kefir – 3 cups;
egg;
hard cheese – 150 g;
sugar – 2 tbsp. l.;
soda and salt - 0.5 tsp each;
a small amount of vanillin and sunflower oil.

Warm up the water a little. Stir in 1 tbsp. l. sugar and add yeast. Cover the container with this mixture and place it in a warm place for 10 minutes. Take another container and beat the egg with the remaining sugar in it, pour in the kefir and dissolved yeast. Stir the resulting mixture.

You will need another container to prepare rye flour pancakes according to the recipe. Take a cup, sift flour into it, add salt and vanillin. Start pouring in the kefir-yeast mixture in small portions. Stir the dough until smooth, put in a warm place for about an hour to rise. Before baking, add soda and sunflower oil.

If the dough is thick, add ¼ cup of boiling water and stir quickly. Now you can start baking. In order to ultimately make the dish original, melt the butter and prepare the cheese shavings. Mix these ingredients. Grease the baked pancakes with the resulting mixture. Made from rye flour, kefir, and even with this additive, they turn out simply extraordinary!

After cooking the pancakes, it's time to start filling. The grapefruit should be peeled, its white fibers and seeds removed;
Cut the resulting slices in half;
On one pancake, place a couple of pieces of citrus directly in the center, pour over a small amount of yogurt and sprinkle with a gram of cinnamon;
Wrap everything in an envelope and do the same with the rest of the pancakes until the filling is gone.

Diabetic-friendly pancake filling options

You can use any permitted fruit as a sweet filling. For example, apples. They need to be peeled and cored, cut into small pieces. After this, transfer to a saucepan and add about 25 g of butter substitute. Simmer the fruit until soft, then place on the pancakes and wrap.

Or you can prepare a similar fruit and berry filling. All products must be grated or pureed, then mixed and added to taste with a sweetener. You can stew it, or you can serve it fresh as a filling.

To prepare the vegetable filling you will need fresh cabbage, onions, herbs, and eggplant. Finely chop the cabbage and simmer. Finely chop the onion along with the herbs. The eggplant soaked in salted water should be cut into cubes. Add these three ingredients to the cabbage and simmer until fully cooked, after which you can immediately distribute it over pancakes.

You can add a little sweetener or fructose to the cottage cheese. A product with a low fat content is required. You can serve immediately, or you can add nuts, berries or fruits.

For meat, you should give preference to beef or poultry. A piece of meat should be washed and cut into small pieces, and put into a frying pan to simmer. Add finely chopped greens and onions and stir. You can lightly salt and simmer until cooked completely.

Lean fish just needs to be boiled, then add a little salt and a couple of drops of lemon juice. Disassemble into small fibers with your hands, remove all the bones, and serve with pancakes.

You should not prepare a pure nut filling, it is too high in calories. It is better to dilute it with permitted berries and fruits. To make the mass homogeneous, you can puree the fruit part and grind the nuts in a blender or meat grinder.

You can serve with low-percentage yogurt, caviar, herbs, and lemon juice. It is important to eat no more than three pancakes at a time; it is better to start eating in several stages. Before eating, it is advisable to calculate the total calories of pancakes and filling.

To make pancakes fluffy, you can use several methods at once. Some add soda, some add yeast, some cook with highly carbonated mineral water, and some add vodka. There is another option. It consists of fluffy whipped whites.

Steep protein foam should be introduced at the very end when kneading the dough, when all the ingredients are already mixed. Using a spoon, not a whisk, stir the foam into the mixture and immediately begin baking. This way the pancakes turn out thin and airy.

Also, when cooking, you can use not only ordinary sunflower oil. Just take a piece of unsalted lard and prick it on a fork. Before pouring the pancake into the pan, you need to grease it with this piece, and on the sides too. This way the pancakes won't have dry, crispy edges.

In addition, you can use different types of oils: olive, peanut, hemp, pumpkin, mustard, corn. Coconut oil can be used by diabetics. But it is not recommended to cook with sesame oil, since it is not intended for high temperatures.

In order for pancakes made from rye flour to turn out right the first time, it is very important to heat the pan well. It should be very hot, so you need to put it on high heat in advance for at least five minutes.

All ingredients for the dough should be at the same room temperature, unless nuances are provided for in the recipe itself. That is, eggs, butter, even flour should be at room temperature. You can simply pull out the ingredients on the table in advance, and start cooking half an hour later.

Rye pancakes are tasty, unusual and healthy. This type of flour is sold in many stores and at an affordable price, and therefore there will be no problems finding the main product. But the whole family will enjoy it!

Pancakes made from rye flour with milk are a surprisingly quick dish that can be prepared for breakfast, lunch or dinner to feed your family while the main meal is being prepared. Rye pancakes differ in taste from regular wheat pancakes. They are more tender and turn over easily when frying in a pan. If you use only rye flour for cooking, the finished baked goods will be dark in color with a brown tint. Serve rye pancakes immediately after cooking with sour cream, melted butter, jam or condensed milk.
