Village pancakes are a simple and heartfelt dish of Russian cuisine that carries the warmth of home. Their history is rooted in rural life where ingredients were always at hand. These pancakes are light and airy due to generous butter addition. The batter is made from flour, milk, and eggs, with a special salting method creating a harmonious taste. They are served hot, folded in half, perfectly pairing with jam, sour cream, or honey. They are great for family breakfasts or cozy gatherings with loved ones. Each piece is filled with the aroma of warm dough and gentle sweetness, creating an atmosphere of comfort and childhood memories.

Cooking steps

1. Pour 2 cups of flour into a large bowl.

4. Add two handfuls of sugar. Pour in more milk to reach kefir consistency.

   Required ingredients:

   • Sugar: 3 tablespoons

5. Add half a glass of sunflower oil and mix it well. You won't spoil the pancakes with oil: the more you add, the more delicate the pancakes become.

   Required ingredients:

6. Heat the pan over medium heat WITHOUT oil (there's already enough in the batter). Using a ladle, carefully scoop some batter and evenly spread it starting from the center of the pan. The pancake will start to bubble from the heat — this is normal, do not touch it.
