Well, what would Maslenitsa be without traditional Russian pancakes, which are prepared with yeast dough. They are mixed with milk or water and baked in a Russian oven, but you and I will cook them in a frying pan. Previously, they were cooked with buckwheat flour, but we cook with wheat flour.
Let's face it, instead of milk you can cook with whey, boiled water, and even sour cream. The products are so simple that anyone can make them, and the recipes are so simple that a novice housewife can handle them.
After all, pancakes have always occupied a special place of honor in Russian cuisine and were a ritual dish; our ancestors considered them a symbol of the sun. The housewives baked them alone in a good mood, and the kneading process itself was a real sacrament. In villages, the first pancake was placed on the windowsill, thereby commemorating their ancestors.
To prepare, take fresh ingredients, the flour must be dry, of good quality, the yeast must be fresh and not expired. If you need to beat the whites, do it in a dry and clean container.
Mix in a large bowl, keeping in mind that it will rise during fermentation. Do not leave, as everything can leak out, and this way you can stir it so that everything can breathe, you need to cover it with a towel.
Stir the dough before baking. An indicator that it needs to be turned over is when the edges dry out. If the dough is liquid, you can always add flour to it, and if it is thick, a little warm water or milk.
They are served hot and piping hot. It was truly considered a Russian royal delicacy. Try it too!
Yeast pancakes with milk like grandma's - step-by-step recipe
My grandmother lived in the village, how we loved to visit her on holidays. Whatever, a celebration of the belly was always guaranteed. And probably, many grandmothers are remembered for the fact that they prepared delicious, and what is it, special yeast baked goods.
This recipe has been slightly modernized to suit our realities; as modern housewives, it is easier for us to work with dry fast-acting yeast, so we replace fresh yeast with this. But we have a table below, you can use it to calculate the ratio.
Ingredients:
- Flour-2-2.5 tbsp.
- egg - 1 pc.
- water-1 tbsp.
- milk-1 tbsp.
- vegetable oil - 3 tbsp. l.
- dry yeast - 1-1.5 tsp.
- sugar-1-2 tbsp. l.
- salt-1/3 tsp.
If you use fresh yeast, I will add a table of their ratio in grams so that you can easily calculate everything.
1. Mix all the dry products in a bowl, stir, beat in the egg and pour in warm milk.
2. Pour in warm boiled water in a thin stream, mix, and leave on the table for an hour so that all the components begin to work. While stirring, you need to break up the lumps.
3. After an hour, mix everything, add vegetable oil, and start frying. Everything here is standard, a frying pan that needs to be heated and greased with oil, and a little time and patience for the cooking and frying process.
4. After frying on one side, turn over, fry on the other, and place them in a stack on top of each other. They turn out to be holey and porous. I cook using this method many times, excellent results are guaranteed.

4. Shake the eggs in a bowl and gradually pour them into the dough, continuing to knead (shake) it well with a whisk.
5. Pour in vegetable oil. Remember, we poured a glass of milk, warmed it up, and poured in a glass of milk, shaking the dough with a whisk. Let it brew for 30-40 minutes.
