Crouton pancakes are a symbol of thrift and culinary ingenuity in Russian cuisine. This simple yet delicious recipe was created to use leftover croutons, turning them into tender, aromatic flatbreads. They become airy thanks to the yeast, while the egg adds softness. Pancakes can be served with jam, sour cream, or honey, transforming them into a great breakfast or dessert. Their taste is a combination of the slight sourness of the yeast dough and a golden crust that creates a pleasant crunch. These pancakes pay homage to traditions and remind us of times when every crumb mattered and was used wisely. The simplicity of the recipe makes it accessible for any cook, while the result brings homey comfort and warmth.
