You can bake a wide variety of products using this product, but the most delicious are pancakes and pancakes. They turn out tender and fluffy and don’t turn sour for a long time. Pancakes made with sour milk are easy to prepare, and even a novice housewife can fry them for her loved ones.

History: how delicious pancakes were made from sour milk

It’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t like pancakes, because they are associated with childhood, the Russian stove, a hospitable housewife and an appetizing aroma in the house.

Even for those who count calories but really love pancakes, there is a way out. Prepare them by replacing wheat flour with oatmeal or any other flakes.

However, pancakes were not always what we cook today. Over the course of its history, this dish has undergone many changes, from its name to its cooking recipe.

Delicious sour milk pancakes based on oatmeal remain quite popular today.

The history of making pancakes goes back to the distant 16th century. Translated from ancient Greek, “eladion” means cooked “in oil.” Pagan Rus' is known for the worship of the main god - Yaril, the god of the Sun. As a sign of respect for him, people baked small, palm-sized, golden-colored pancakes that were associated with the Sun. Eating such “suns” should only be done with one’s hands, so as not to anger God.

One of the most famous holidays in Rus', Maslenitsa, would not be complete without pancakes, various flatbreads and pancakes. They were baked in special cast iron frying pans called “oladnitsy”. Mothers-in-law invited their sons-in-law to visit them and treated them to the most delicious dish - pancakes, which were served exclusively with sour cream.

It is noteworthy that initially pancakes had different names in different villages, they were called:

Pancakes;
Olashkami;
Alyabyshami.

Only in the 20th century did they acquire their usual name. Moreover, in different cities this name meant different dishes. In St. Petersburg it was a flatbread with a sweet filling and served hot. In Moscow, pancakes were baked from butter dough with a high content of eggs and milk. They were large and thick in size. Today, every housewife prepares pancakes in her own way, adding different fillings and serving them with sour cream, condensed milk, jam or any other sweets. What could be better than getting the whole family together in the evening in a cozy kitchen, drinking tea with pancakes and sharing the news of the day.

Original pancakes with yogurt

Fluffy pancakes can be prepared with yogurt. It will perfectly replace kefir, and the chibriks will turn out just as tasty and plump.

Ingredients:

curdled milk - one glass;
egg;
sugar – two spoons;
butter - a couple of tablespoons;
flour - one glass;
soda - on the tip of a knife;
baking powder - a small spoon without a slide;
salt - a pinch.

Cooking process:

In a separate container, beat the egg with sugar with a mixer. You need to wait until the sugar is completely dissolved.
The curdled milk needs to be heated a little. Then pour into the egg mixture. Add oil and mix well.
Add the remaining ingredients - flour, soda, salt and baking powder. Knead the dough and leave it to rest. After ten minutes it will start to bubble.
In a frying pan with melted butter, fry the chibriki, adding a spoonful of dough. You will get excellent fluffy pancakes.

The total frying time will be no more than five minutes on both sides. Serve with honey or berry sauce.

You can make pancakes using sour milk. Therefore, if a carton of milk stagnates in the refrigerator, do not rush to throw it away. The dough on this basis bakes perfectly, especially if you use a thick cast-iron frying pan.

When kneading, make sure that the dough is neither too thick nor too thin. The ideal consistency is thick sour cream. You shouldn’t overdo it with flour and soda either.

You will need:

sour milk - two glasses or 500 ml;
flour - two glasses;
eggs - two pieces;
sugar - two large heaped spoons;
salt;
soda - ½ teaspoon (can be replaced with baking powder - one spoon).

Preparation:

Break the eggs into a bowl and add sugar to them. Beat with a fork.
Now pour in the sour milk, add salt, and add soda (baking powder).
Now add flour and knead the dough so that it resembles good homemade sour cream (in thickness). Make sure there are no lumps.

Fry the pancakes in a preheated frying pan until golden brown. Spread the dough with a spoon: one spoon - one portion. The dough rises perfectly.

The consistency of the dough is influenced by the thickness of the sour milk. If it is liquid, then you need to increase the amount of flour. If it is too thick, then reduce its volume.

You can serve the dish with condensed milk, jam, sour cream or delicious fruit jam.

Unique pancakes with sour milk: we cook it ourselves

Don’t rush to scold your husband for not paying attention to the production date of expired milk; with a good housewife, everything will work out. Instead of ruining your mood, it’s better to bake pancakes.

Pancakes made from sour milk turn out very fluffy, fluffy and surprisingly tasty.

The recipe for pancakes with sour milk is not particularly complicated.

However, there are certain conditions that must be met:

The dough made with sour milk should not be stirred, just scoop it up with a tablespoon or ladle and fry in vegetable oil.
You can beat the dough with a mixer or blender, but only at the beginning.
It is better to mix the dough by hand and add flour with a fork or whisk.
Pancakes can be prepared with wheat, buckwheat or corn flour, and for those who are watching their figure, the flour can be replaced with oatmeal. In this case, the flakes should be divided into 2 parts: grind one part into coarse crumbs using a blender, and add the second part later in order to give the pancakes viscosity.
As for soda, it must be added when the milk has been standing for a very long time in order to fight off the bitterness. And the effect of bubbles from the fermented milk mixture will appear without adding soda and baking powder.

Sometimes, instead of sour milk, recipes indicate kefir, however, this is a “quickie” method; pancakes made with sour milk are tastier.

There are a great variety of fillings and additives in sour pancakes, they can be:

Vanilla;
Curd;
Apple;
Chicken;
Banana;
Cheese.

Pancakes made from milk that has not completely soured will turn out hard, so you need to wait until the milk has completely soured. Ideally, you need to wait until the curd mass separates from the whey.

Cooking features

Pancakes with sour milk can be prepared according to several recipes, each of which has its own advantages. The dough kneading technology for the above-mentioned product may have differences, but they will not be significant. Knowing the basic principles of preparing pancakes from sour milk and following the recommendations accompanying the chosen recipe, even a novice cook can successfully cope with the task.

For pancakes, sour milk of any fat content and any taste is suitable. Experienced housewives believe that strongly sour milk allows you to get even more delicious baked goods than milk that has just begun to sour. However, it is advisable to do it before the milk separates into fractions. Otherwise, you will have to look for recipes for pancakes not made from sour milk, but from yogurt and whey.
You can use flour other than wheat for pancakes. Products made from a mixture of wheat flour with buckwheat, oatmeal or rye are tasty. However, whatever type of flour you choose, it must be of high quality. A second-rate product gives products an unusual color and an unpleasant taste. The difference between first-grade and second-grade flour is not so great that it makes sense to save on this product.
Any flour must be sifted before combining with other components. The main goal of this manipulation is not to clean the product from insect larvae and small debris, although this is also important. The main task is to saturate the flour with oxygen. Once sifted, it becomes light and easier to combine with other ingredients without causing lumps to form. Dough made from this flour rises better and baked goods are more airy.
The pancake batter should not drip, but slowly slide off the spoon or even resemble sour cream in consistency. The thicker the dough, the thicker and fluffier the pancakes will be.
Fry the pancakes by spooning the dough onto a hot frying pan with boiling oil. If the pan is not heated enough or the oil is too low, the dough will spread over the pan and burn. To prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon, it is moistened with water from time to time.

Pancakes made from dough with sour milk are served as an independent dish or with tea. It wouldn’t hurt to supplement them with sour cream or sauce. Sometimes fruits or vegetables are already included in the dough. They make sweet products with fruits, and snack bars with vegetables. In the latter case, very little sugar is added to the dough, only to balance the sour taste of spoiled milk.

Making pancakes with sour milk: step-by-step recipe

Cooking is not difficult.

Namely:

Break the eggs into a deep bowl or small saucepan, add salt and sugar, mix with a mixer or whisk.
Add room temperature sour milk to the egg mixture.
Stir in the previously sifted flour using a fork or whisk in a circular motion.
Lastly, add baking soda (if desired).
The consistency of the finished dough should be like thick village sour cream so that a spoon can stand. If the dough is too thick, you can leave out all the flour.
Leave the dough to rest for 15-20 minutes.
Heat a wide, shallow frying pan, pour vegetable oil into it and carefully place the dough with a tablespoon so that there is a small distance between the pancakes and they do not stick together.
Over medium heat, bake the pancakes for 1-2 minutes on each side with the lid closed.

After cooking, place the pancakes on a wide cup, decorate with fruits or berries, and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
