Pancakes can be called a universal dish, which can be either a dessert or an appetizer. But it happens that there are no dairy products for kneading dough in the refrigerator, in this case it is worth cooking pancakes on the water. A treat prepared on such a basis is no worse.

Simple lean pancakes on the water

The benefits of pancakes on water without adding eggs are undeniable. In addition to its composition, which will be enjoyed not only during fasting, pancakes will appeal to vegetarians. Another indisputable advantage is that such a delicacy can be realized even if the refrigerator is almost empty.

Ingredients:

  • flour - 205 g;
  • water - 400 ml;
  • vegetable oil - 50 ml;
  • sugar - 25 g;
  • soda - 1 \ 2 tsp;
  • vinegar or citric acid;
  • salt to taste.

Note! The amount of sugar and salt in each recipe is conditional. Their mass is determined depending on what type of pancakes are supposed: for dessert or a snack.

The pancake dough is kneaded on water, subject to the following recommendations:

  1. Considering that the base of pancakes should be completely homogeneous (accordingly, it eliminates the presence of grains of sugar or salt), we dissolve these components in warm water.
  2. Add soda there. It must be repaid before intervention. Citric acid or vinegar is great.
  3. The crucial moment has come, which consists in introducing flour into the dough. We do this carefully and gradually. It is better to mix a couple tablespoons to avoid clumping.
  4. To make our pancakes soft, the dough needs time to insist. Quit a quarter of an hour, and during this time you can prepare the filling for pancakes.
  5. Time is up. To begin the direct preparation of pancakes on the water, we just had to mix the butter.

We bake pancakes in the traditional way.

Note! Depending on the pan, the requirement for spreading it with oil will differ.

If the dishes have a non-stick coating, you need to use oil only before the first pancake. If a cast-iron or other surface is used, we coat as necessary.

With yeast

Pancakes with yeast added to the dough can be completely different. They often come out lush, like American pancakes. But now we offer to make delicious thin pancakes.

To implement a pancake recipe on water you will need:

  • flour - 1.5 cups;
  • dry fast-acting yeast - 3 g;
  • water - 400 ml;
  • vegetable oil - 35 ml;
  • sugar - 4 tsp;
  • salt is a pinch.

Instead of dry yeast, recommended for use, you can take fresh. It will take about 10 g.

Step by step recipe:

  1. First of all, we take the dough: measure out 100 ml of water (it should be warm, not boiling water), 1 tsp. sugar, take all 3 grams of yeast. Mix everything and leave until foam appears.
  2. Having prepared the dough, we take on the second part of the test, which should also be kneaded now. We take the remainder of the sugar, flour and pour everything in still warm water.
    Note! If you still want to make pot-bellied pancakes, just use not 400 ml of water, but 300.
  3. We should get two containers: one with yeast dough, the other with flour mixture. They should "rest" separately from each other for about 15 minutes.
  4. We mix flour and yeast components. Having achieved a complete connection, we again give the test time for proofing. It is hard to say how long the process will take. It all depends on how soon the desired reaction appears - air bubbles on the surface.

Upon reaching the desired effect, we proceed to frying the pancakes.
Interesting to know! Yeast dough is ideal for cooking pancakes with seasoning. The filling can be different, but the technology is always the same: first we put a little seasoning on the pan, then fill everything with dough and fry.

On mineral water

As for pancakes on mineral water, there is a very reasonable question: does mineral water really give any effect or is it a tribute to originality?
We will answer briefly, if carbonated water is used, then thanks to its introduction into the dough, pancakes are made openwork, airy and “holey”. Connoisseurs also note that the mineral water is similar in action to yeast. Only in the case of the method under consideration, the fermentation process is much faster.

  • flour - 1.5 cups;
  • sugar - 1 tsp;

Without adding eggs on mineral water, pancakes are prepared according to the technology:

  1. In a bowl in which kneading will take place, add salt and sugar.
  2. Sift the flour there.
  3. We make a recess in the dry components. Pour in mineral water and oil.
  4. Knead the dough.

Lean pancakes on tea, step by step recipe

Now the recipe is for those for whom pancakes on ordinary water are akin to gray dull weekdays. To grease the map of everyday life, we suggest using tea. Any one will do: black or green - it doesn’t matter. A drink that was rejected for tea parties would do.

To prepare lean pancakes on tea, we will arm ourselves with products on the list:

  • flour - 150 g;
  • tea (strong) - 250 ml;
  • baking powder - tsp;
  • granulated sugar - 75 g;
  • vegetable oil - 20 ml;
  • salt is a pinch.

Knead the dough for tea-based pancakes like this:

  1. Given that the test will use cooled tea, it should be boiled with boiling water long before the start of the main action.
    Worth considering! Remember that using tea bags for brewing, we lose some of the liquid, so you should pour more boiling water than indicated in the recipe.In the future, we simply measure out the required volume.
  2. In the brewed cooled tea, dissolve the sugar with salt.
  3. Unlike many recipes attributing the introduction of oil at the very end, the technology in question indicates the introduction of oil now. Then you should intensively beat everything with a mixer.
  4. We introduce wheat flour gradually, without forgetting about the baking powder.

Kneading the dough, prepare pancakes in the traditional way.

Cooking on brine

Despite the fact that many recipes for pancakes on brine claim that it will not be difficult to prepare such a delicacy, it is worth considering that only a non-clouded brine can be taken for a liquid base. In addition, mixing two types of brine (tomato and cucumber) is not recommended.

We will need:

  • brine - 250 ml;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • sugar - 50 g;
  • soda - 1 \ 2 tsp;
  • flour - 150 g;
  • oil - 20 ml;
  • spices and salt to taste.

To prepare spicy spicy pancakes on brine, we carry out the following recommendations:

  1. By tradition, we start with eggs. Beat them with salt, sugar and soda.
  2. Now pour the brine. Due to the soda content, the mixture immediately begins to foam.
  3. Having mixed the whole mass of flour, pour in the oil.

We fry the pancakes in the usual way until a pleasant blush in the pan is slightly oiled.

Please note that culinary recommendations for sifting flour are not conditional. It is necessary. Due to its sifting, the dough “comes to life”, saturated with air.

With apple and lemon juice

Pancakes on two types of juice, lemon and apple, do not require either eggs or milk, therefore they are classified as lean. Their distinctive feature is a light aroma of citrus fruits and fruits, which automatically makes pancakes a dessert. But it is worth noting that if you replace wheat flour with rye flour, they will become very low-calorie.

To make pancakes with apple and lemon juice, take:

  • apple juice - 100 ml;
  • lemon juice - tsp;
  • water - 400 ml;
  • flour - 250 g;
  • baking powder - 10 g;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • sugar - 100 g;
  • oil - 35 ml.

The dough for pancakes on water with two types of juice is kneaded like this:

  1. Mix the bulk components: flour, baking powder, sugar, salt. In this case, the flour must be sifted.
  2. In a second bowl, beat chilled boiled water, apple and lemon juice, oil.
  3. Mix all the dry ingredients with half the liquid mixture. Separation is important for successful kneading.
  4. Pour in the remaining liquid.

We complete the execution of pancakes recipe on water by their logical preparation in a pan.

Pancakes on Soymilk

Soy milk pancakes are suitable for those who have lactose intolerance.

In addition to a glass of soy milk, take:

  • flour - a glass;
  • baking powder - 2 tsp;
  • sugar - 40 g;
  • egg - 1 pc.;
  • oil - 35 ml;
  • soda - 1 \ 2 tsp;
  • salt is a pinch.

The cooking method is to complete only 3 steps:

  1. Separately mixing dry and liquid components.
  2. The compound of two mixtures.
  3. Frying pancakes in a hot pan.

Pancakes made with soy milk are more saturated in taste than pancakes with water, so we recommend you try them at least once.

On rice broth

Where do you get the decoction in which the rice was cooked? Thoughtlessly pouring? But in vain! You can cook wonderful pancakes on rice broth.

To fry them, we arm ourselves with the ingredients from the list:

  • rice broth - 2 glasses;
  • sugar - 1 \ 2 cups;
  • flour - about 5 glasses;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • soda - 1 \ 2 tsp;
  • oil - 2 tbsp. l

 

To cook pancakes according to the desired recipe, you should first stock up with rice broth. Not only that, by the time of kneading the dough, it should have cooled down, it is also necessary to control the amount of liquid. In the end, we should get 2 glasses. To achieve this, we take somewhere a glass of rice and 3.5 glasses of water. Let the broth turn out a little more than less: just measure the desired volume and that's it.

Step by step recipe:

  1. In still warm (not boiling water) rice broth, we send salt, sugar, butter.
  2. We extinguish soda and also send to the broth.
  3. Next, flour is sent to the composition.

The dough is excellent.And no less important, for some reason pancakes on rice broth are prepared a priori without adding eggs, which does not at all reduce their taste.

Pancakes on rice broth can be both a wonderful sweet treat and part of the snack.

And in conclusion, I want to say, despite the fact that the text contains a lean recipe for pancakes on water, pancakes with eggs are also of excellent quality.
