Preparation
Step 1
How do you fry fluffy sour milk pancakes without yeast? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use kefir instead of sour milk. In a deep bowl, whisk the egg with the salt and sugar.
Step 2
Then add the sifted flour and sour milk to the batter. Mix. Thanks to sifting, the flour will be enriched with oxygen, and the finished pancakes will turn out especially fluffy. Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than the amount stated. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the batter. It should be thick.
Step 3
At the end, add a little baking soda to the batter and immediately mix it in.
Step 4
You can mix the batter with a mixer. Its consistency should be smooth and without lumps.
Step 5
Heat a thick-bottomed pan well and pour in a little vegetable oil. Spoon in small portions of batter. It should not spread too much. Keep the heat low and let the pancakes cook slowly so they begin to rise. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will brown quickly on the outside, while the batter inside will remain raw, and they will collapse after being removed from the pan.
Step 6
The pancakes should be appetizingly golden on both sides. Thanks to the reaction between the sour milk and baking soda, carbon dioxide is released in the batter, and the pancakes rise like little buns.
Step 7
Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels. This is needed to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the fluffy sour milk pancakes with baking soda warm, with tea, juice, or milk. You can serve them with condensed milk, honey, sour cream, or jam. Enjoy!
