Pancake trash or the first pancake is not lumpy

And I came to you with a story about pancakes. I messed around a little today :)
If I say that pancakes are very easy, believe me. With pancakes, I did not deceive you.

Let's start with a test. When they say make the dough like pancakes, or start the pancake batter - many immediately do uuuuuuu, and give up the idea. I'm a bore and don't like uncertainty. I like to deduce the simplest formulas, so that just once - and it will definitely work out.
The pancake batter formula couldn't be easier. 1+2 to 2.
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of flour for 2 cups of liquid.
Everything, this is unmistakable and for sure. foundation, so to speak.
Everything else can be varied.
You can cook on kefir, yogurt, fresh or sour milk, on the same water. You can add sour cream for acid dough. But the ratio of flour and liquid is unchanged.
Just be sure to half the thick kefir-curdled milk or sour cream with water. To us batter necessary. On one milk, I also do not advise starting - I recommend replacing part with plain water. Because pancakes burn on milk alone. I tell you this from experience. Even if you have been baking them with milk all your life, as your grandmother taught you, dilute the milk by a third with water and feel the difference.
Measure flour and liquid in one glass. Or the same.

##
If a liquid with an acidic environment - kefir, yogurt, sour cream (at least one spoon per 2 cups of water) - you do not need to extinguish the soda.
If it is fresh milk or water, extinguish the soda with vinegar or lemon juice. Well, or replace with baking powder. It is from the reaction of soda with acid that these small holes are formed on the surface of pancakes.
If you start pancakes on water with sour cream for example. That better sour cream put in a glass and top up with water. To keep the volume of liquid constant.
If your flour is frankly weak (TU), then feel free to add a spoonful of flour on top. If the flour is good, GOST, of the highest grade, then it is not necessary.
So, today's pancakes, on kefir.
For 12 standard size pancakes:
1 cup and 2 tablespoons flour
Flour is measured with glasses like this: pour full and level the top. Not with a slide, not by eye. And exactly.

I pour a glass of flour into a bowl, add two tablespoons of flour on top.

I drive in flour 2 raw eggs, one topless teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of sugar.

For such a number of pancakes, take 1-2 or 3 tablespoons of sugar to taste. Three spoons is the maximum. More will burn.
I pour a full glass of kefir.

I begin to stir the dough: first, flour with eggs and salt-sugar, then I add kefir.


With the same glass I measure water (the hostess, so that kefir does not disappear from the walls of the glass, everything is in the house, everything is in the family) into the dough.

Pour water into the dough and stir the dough with a whisk so that there are no lumps.
Then I add an incomplete teaspoon of soda. And three tablespoons of vegetable oil.


I stir the last time and leave the dough for 15-20 minutes.
While the stove is heating up.

If you start the dough for a very large number of pancakes, then completely stir it so that it is problematic without lumps. So I stir as best I can, and then just strain the dough through a colander. I stir the remaining lumps again and filter again, adding a drop of batter. And also, when you bake a lot of pancakes - a hundred, at the end the dough becomes too thick for thin pancakes - so I add a little water there.

The most important thing in baking pancakes is to warm up well, but not overheat the pan.
If you don’t have a full hand yet and just feel that it’s time you can’t, make it easier. Wet the pan as if you just washed it, but did not dry it.

Put on the stove. Once the water has evaporated, the pan is hot enough.

The second important point is heating the pan with oil. Pour vegetable oil (literally a little, less than a tablespoon) Spread the oil evenly over the surface of the pan, put it on the stove and count to 10. One, two, three, and so on.

Then pour the oil (you can directly into the dough, just do not forget to stir the dough later).

And here it is important: why the first pancake is always lumpy - because there is a little more oil on the surface than necessary for an even distribution of the dough. It's very easy to change this. Take a regular paper towel and quickly wipe the surface of the pan. This removes excess oil. Quickly - because the pan should not cool down.


Take the right amount of dough with a ladle. It is too big for me, so I scoop up less than half of the ladle. And you have to figure it out empirically. If you don't scoop up enough the first time, add it the second time. If there is a lot and the pancake will turn out to be thick, reduce it. By the third pancake, you will know exactly how much dough you need to scoop.

Pour the dough in one quick motion into the center of the pan and tilt the pan in different directions, roll out the dough in an even layer over the entire surface. And fry.



One side.


If you want blush - wait for the color to appear along the edge of the pancake.

Look from above - the dough is fried quickly, there are no damp places left on top - you can turn it over. First, run the spatula in a circle, separating the edges, then bring the spatula to the very center (it usually sticks the most) and turn over. On the reverse side, pancakes fry twice as fast. So watch and remove them from the pan in time.


I grease the pan not every time, but after two or even three pancakes. And I no longer use pieces of lard, tassels, or onion halves on a fork. Everything is much easier. The same paper towel that I used to remove excess oil is my lubricant. I drip some oil into a small bowl. And I dip the napkin into this oil.


Once - they ran a napkin over the surface of the pan, and smeared it with the thinnest layer, and what is called scuffed if something was suddenly baked to it.

And very little oil goes away (household hamster).
It is better to grease the pancakes with butter later, if the soul asks for more satiety. Here, right on the top hot pancake in a pile, lay out a piece of butter and roll it over the surface. Then cover with another hot one - it will melt completely.

And for those who think that he needs a special frying pan to fry pancakes, I brought with me from home the simplest IKEA thin Teflon frying pan.
Here:
I heat up.

Lubricate with oil and warm up a little more.

I pour out the dough.

I'm fucking.

Then I considered this insufficient evidence and complicated the task.
Here is a huge cast-iron pan completely killed.

Gray. Lubricate with oil. We play some more. We fry a damn.



And then Ostap suffered.
Death number. Stainless steel stewpan with sides 10 (ten pancake!) Centimeters high.

It is awkward to turn over, but if you wish, frying pancakes in it is not a problem.



It was necessary to bake pancakes in an aluminum pan for a complete and final trash)))
I cooked on the electric stove. Gas frying is even easier. If you see that the pancakes are starting to burn, reduce the heat. If it doesn't cook fast enough, turn up the heat a bit.
And yes, you need to fry pancakes on a gas stove on a small burner. If you fry on a wide burner, then they stick in the center (they do not bake).
That's all!! Show us what you did in the comments!
