Sour cream cakes are a fairly simple dish to make. They can be served instead of bread for tea, and if supplemented with sauce, meat or vegetable filling, then it would completely be a separate, nutritious meal.

Pancakes on sour cream, like a grandmother's, fried in a pan

You can fry cakes on sour cream not only at home. This cooking method is suitable for a picnic in nature or in the country.

Essential products for yeast cake dough:

  • fresh yeast (you can use instant ones - 1 sachet) - 20 g;
  • water - 100 ml;
  • sour cream 15-20% fat - 150 ml;
