Quick pancakes are a simple and fast treat from Russian cuisine, perfect for a cozy family breakfast. Their feature is instant preparation due to the combination of baking soda and lemon juice, which gives the batter lightness and airiness. These pancakes have a delicate flavor with a slight tanginess harmoniously complemented by the sweetness of sugar. Sour milk can be used in the recipe to enhance the flavor further. Such pancakes are served with jam, honey, sour cream, or simply with butter, creating a warm atmosphere of traditional Russian feasting. Historically, similar recipes emerged as a quick way to prepare delicious baked goods without lengthy yeast dough preparation. They remain popular due to their simplicity and versatility.
