2 servings

20 minutes

Mineral water pancakes with raspberry-sour cream sauce are a light and airy version of a traditional Russian dish that is particularly tender due to the carbonated water in the batter. This recipe comes from ancient Russian traditions where pancakes held a central place on festive tables, especially during Maslenitsa. The mineral water gives the pancakes a fine porous structure, making them soft and airy. The raspberry-sour cream sauce adds freshness and sweet tanginess, creating a harmonious blend of creamy softness and berry richness. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast or cozy tea time, especially when served with hot fragrant tea or fresh berries. They can be presented as envelopes, turning each serving into a small gastronomic gift.
