YEAST PANCAKES FROM TRANSYLVANIA



Yeast Pancakes from Transylvania image

Pretty much all pancake recipes use baking soda, which does give them a distinctive taste, plus they are usually good only fresh off the griddle. For a new type of pancakes, try this recipe that uses yeast instead of bicarbonate. It takes a bit longer to get the batter ready. Ever since my mother, who is from Romania, said 'Why do you add bicarbonate in this? Let me make my good old recipe with yeast!', we abandoned the other recipes and the kids only want this type of pancakes. One could see this as a combination between a pancake, a crepe, or a naan bread.

Tips:

  • Ensure Proper Ingredient Measurements: Accurately measure all ingredients, especially the yeast, to achieve the desired consistency and texture in your pancakes.
  • Activate the Yeast Effectively: Before incorporating the yeast into the batter, activate it by mixing it with warm milk and a small amount of sugar. This step ensures that the yeast is active and ready to leaven the batter.
  • Achieve a Smooth Batter: Mix the batter until it is smooth and free of lumps. Any lumps in the batter can result in uneven cooking and a less desirable texture in your pancakes.
  • Control the Heat: Cook the pancakes over medium heat to prevent them from burning on the outside while remaining uncooked on the inside. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure even cooking.
  • Flip at the Right Moment: Wait until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake before flipping it. This indicates that the bottom side is cooked and ready to be flipped.
  • Serve Warm: Enjoy the pancakes while they are still warm. As they cool, they may lose some of their fluffy texture and become less enjoyable.

Conclusion:

Indulge in the delightful flavors of Transylvanian yeast pancakes, a culinary treasure that combines the goodness of yeast, milk, and eggs with a touch of sweetness from sugar. These pancakes are a perfect breakfast treat, offering a soft, fluffy texture and a satisfying taste that will leave you craving more.
