In order for thin pancakes to be lacy, you need to add baking powder to the dough. Marina Nikolaeva, pastry chef of the Drinks@Dinners restaurant, told socialbites.ca about this.
“Whether or not to add industrial yeast to the recipe is everyone’s choice, but I personally prefer to use baking powder or sourdough. Baking soda activates when heated and helps make pancakes lacy,” explains Marina Nikolaeva.
At the same time, the main secret of making thin lace pancakes, according to the confectioner, is the balance of ingredients and a well-heated pan.
“If the temperature of the pan is not high enough or if you pour too much vegetable oil on it, then nothing will work. A good deep-bottomed frying pan is the key to red lace pancakes!” – said.
As for the balance of ingredients, Marina Nikolaeva suggested taking four eggs, 250 g of wheat flour, 100 ml of vegetable oil, 10 g of baking powder, 50 g of sugar and 8 g of salt for 500 ml of milk. He recommends kneading all this in a blender, and if lumps form in the dough, it should be filtered through a sieve.
“You just need to combine milk, egg and vegetable oil first, then add the rest of the bulk products,” said Şekerci.
