They can be served with jam, honey, sour cream, or condensed milk. For a heartier option — with pieces of baked meat or salted fish.

Ingredients

• Milk: 2 glass
• Salt: 0.5 tsp
• Olive oil: 1 tbsp
• Chicken egg: 1 pc
• Wheat flour: 0.1 glass
• Oat flakes: 0.5 glass
• Soda: 0.5 tsp

Cooking steps

1. Pour oats, sugar, and salt into a deep bowl. Add a lightly beaten egg, then milk. Mix with a fork and sour the mixture with lemon juice. Let it sit for 20 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Oat flakes: 0.5 glass
   • Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Chicken egg: 1 piece
   • Milk: 2 glasss

2. Measure the required amount of flour and baking soda, and be sure to sift them together. Pour the flour into a bowl and mix with a fork without striving for a uniform consistency. The dough should be thick enough, like creamy sour cream. Then add olive oil to the dough - one or two tablespoons depending on the consistency, and mix again.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 0.1 glass
   • Soda: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon

3. Heat vegetable oil well in the pan. If you're unsure if the oil is hot enough, drop a bit of batter in the center of the pan. If the batter browns quickly, it's time to start cooking pancakes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon

4. Using a tablespoon, place 4 portions of the batter in the pan and quickly fry one side for about 1 minute. Then flip to the other side with a spatula, cover with a lid, and cook for a couple more minutes. Stack the finished pancakes on a large flat plate. To keep the pancakes hot until serving, place the serving plate over a pot of boiling water.

   Required ingredients:

   • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon

5. Serve pancakes hot with jam, preserves, sour cream, or condensed milk. Cold roasted meat pieces, salted fish, or red caviar can also be used as fillings.
