Ingredients

Warm water – 550 ml;

Dry yeast – 1 tsp;
Sugar – 3 tbsp. l.;
Sunflower oil – 4 tbsp. l.;
Salt – 0.5 tsp.

How to cook Lenten pancakes with yeast for a funeral

Sift some wheat flour into a cup and add dry yeast. Take any quality and type of flour; it doesn’t matter in pancake dough. Leave the dry mass for a couple of minutes.

Pour warm boiled water into the dry mixture and stir with a whisk until the consistency is uniform. This is how dough is made for yeast dough. If desired, it can be prepared in a straight way. That is, mix all the liquid ingredients at once, and then add all the dry ones. Stir and leave to ferment in a warm place until a foamy cap appears on the dough. But this recipe uses a sponge method, which is convenient when you don’t know exactly what quality your yeast is. It should be mentioned that yeast in the recipe can be used not only dry, but also fresh pressed. It is also better to make dough for them.

When the dough begins to ferment, bubbles will appear on the surface. This is the beginning of the formation of a foam cap. This means that the yeast has begun to work actively. Cover the bowl with a towel and leave for now.

Sift the rest of the flour separately.

Add salt and sugar to flour.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients mixture into the yeast dough. There should be no lumps in the dough, so actively beat the mass with a whisk or even a mixer, using the first speed.

Mix the dough thoroughly and leave for a quarter of an hour so that the stickiness of the flour works.

Pour liquid oil into the dough and mix with a whisk. It is necessary to add oil, because there are no eggs in the dough, and the pancakes will not burn to the pan. Don't be alarmed if the dough turns out a bit thick - the foamy mass will be well distributed throughout the pan. Well, if you want to bake very thin pancakes, pour a little more warm water into the dough and stir well. And after a couple of minutes, proceed to the next step of preparation.

To start baking, be sure to warm up the pancake pan thoroughly. Pour some batter into a ladle and spread it throughout the pan. It is convenient to do this by slightly lifting it above the switched on stove. When the top surface of the first pancake is set, flip it over and bake on the other side. If you have heated the frying pan well, one pancake will take no more than a minute.

Such Lenten memorial pancakes are prepared not only from wheat flour alone, but also with the addition of buckwheat. Despite the fact that the pancakes are thin, they are very soft and are excellent for diet food.

Although the classic version of such pancakes is prepared with yeast, you can deviate a little from tradition. The main thing here is that the baked goods are lean.

The dough can be kneaded for:

water with baking soda, slaked with vinegar or lemon juice;
potato broth:
on mineral water with gas (gas bubbles loosen the dough and make the pancakes thin and light).

But, in any version of the dough there must be vegetable oil - it makes the pancake mixture more homogeneous and prevents sticking to the pan.

It is allowed to add a little holy water to the dough for funeral pancakes or sprinkle them after cooking.

I don’t know who came up with the idea of adding mineral water to pancake dough instead of baking powder or soda, but thanks to this kind person you can cook excellent pancakes during Lent. Personally, I like them more than regular ones, although they contain no milk, no eggs, no kefir. We take flour, add salt, sugar, pour plain water with sparkling water from a bottle and get masterpiece lean pancakes with mineral water - thin, with holes, see the recipe with exact proportions just below. In the meantime, take a look at the photo - are the pancakes really good? They are very simple to prepare and everyone can make them every time. They don’t stick to the pan, don’t wrinkle, their structure is elastic but not rubbery, they’re good for stuffing. Usually, when people try to bake such pancakes for the first time during Lent, they are so impressed with the result that they continue to bake them even on holidays. Perhaps this recipe will be on your list of favorites.

Lenten mineral water pancakes

Mineral water makes the dough more airy and full of bubbles, which burst and form holes during the frying process. This water also makes the pancakes very thin and tender. In general, all the advantages are in favor of the mineral water recipe, despite the fact that it is lean. Many housewives consider pancakes to be a culinary masterpiece, since not everyone can cook them.

To implement our recipe you need to prepare the following ingredients:

Mineral water, highly carbonated – 300 grams; flour – 1 glass; salt - a quarter teaspoon; sugar is added to taste; vegetable oil – 2 tablespoons.

The recipe is interesting because in this case you will be able to achieve those very holes in pancakes that many housewives dream of, but do not know the recipe.

Lenten pancakes - quick recipes for delicious Lenten pastries

Lenten pancakes are an integral part of our life. In the old days they were fed to women in labor, placed on the funeral table, and eaten during Lent. Many traditions are still observed today. And when your family asks you to please them with baked goods, there is no need to refuse, since you can bake a pile of pancakes without milk or eggs. Without traditional ingredients, they turn out no less tasty, and if you do not inform about the change in the recipe, then your family will not even realize that the pancakes are not quite classic. I offer a selection of tried and tested recipes that will help you quickly prepare delicious pancakes. By the way, they have one more advantage: they are easier to digest and have lower calorie content. Therefore, even those who are struggling with excess weight will not have to deprive themselves of treats.

How to cook lean pancakes

Here is such a simple composition, I specially measured the flour with spoons according to my amount of water. In general, the consistency of the dough is no different from ordinary pancakes with milk or kefir, which I prepare not during Lent or Lent, but for the kids).

To ensure you get lean pancakes, follow the recipe. Heat the water until warm, but not hot. Sift the flour. I didn’t take pictures of all these stages, I think everyone can handle it anyway).

Pancake dough without eggs

Pour some warm water into a bowl with high sides and begin to mix in the flour, I used a hand whisk, it breaks up all the lumps well, thus making a thick paste, then add more water, bringing the volume of water to 350 ml, and the amount of flour to 14 tablespoons . After all the flour has been added, add potato starch; if you don’t add it, I can’t say 100% that the pancakes will come off the pan well.

The next step is to add sugar and salt. Lastly, add vegetable oil to the lean pancake dough, mix everything well and leave to stand for 15-20 minutes. After I let the dough sit for a while, it seemed to me that it had thickened somewhat and I could have added a little more water, but I didn’t. I made a video of the consistency of Lenten pancake dough, you can also take a look. We put the pancake pan on the fire and heat it well, just before you pour the pancake dough into the pan, you need to grease it with vegetable oil, just grease it, and not just pour it into the pan. As soon as you have greased it, pour in the pancake batter and distribute it throughout the pan, as we usually bake everything with milk or milk.

I got thin pancakes. I noticed one thing about lean pancakes without eggs and milk: they take a long time to brown; if I had kept a regular pancake in milk for so long, it would have burned long ago.

I didn’t grease the pancakes on the water with anything since they already have a lot of vegetable oil, and what to grease them with during fasting).

I hope my experience on how to cook lean pancakes that won’t stick to the pan will be useful to many fasting people. We ate these lean pancakes with jam, you can eat them with honey. I also thought that I could add a little vanilla to the dough, so I’ll do that another time.

We liked the pancakes, considering that they are lean, they are quite a good replacement for ordinary rich pancakes. By the way, for those who are allergic to eggs, this pancake recipe is a godsend.

PS I made these pancakes without adding soda and vinegar, we liked them even more than with soda, so try two options and choose which one you like best.

With respect and love, Elena Kurbatova.

Thin lean pancakes made with mineral water perfectly absorb all the juices from the filling. Suitable for pancake pies and cakes. As a rule, the dough is kneaded in a ratio of 1 to 2, i.e. For one glass of flour, use two glasses of mineral water (in the recipe, the volume of a glass is 220 ml). It is better to use sparkling water, then lacy holes will appear.

Ingredients: Premium wheat flour - 1 cup (220 ml) Mineral water - 2 cups Sugar - 1 tbsp. l. Salt - a pinch Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.

Preparation:

First, mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt, sugar.

Pour in the first glass of mineral water, mix into a homogeneous mass without lumps.

Add a second glass of mineral water, vegetable oil, and beat vigorously.

We immediately begin baking thin lean pancakes in mineral water. Grease a hot frying pan with a thin layer of any fat. Pour the batter into about a third of the ladle and dry on both sides.

Lenten pancakes with mineral water are ready. Serve them with jam, honey, jam. Bon appetit!

Lenten yeast pancakes

Yeast played a role and the taste of the pancakes was completely different, for fasting people it was simply great. Especially if they are made with your favorite cherry jam, this is always a win-win option for deliciousness. Ingredients: 250 g flour (1.5 cups, 250 ml glass) 400 ml water (warm enough) 2-3 tbsp. l. sugar 1 pc. potatoes (raw, medium) 1 tsp. dry yeast (or 15-20 grams of fresh) 3/4 tsp. salt 3-4 tbsp. l. vegetable oil for dough and for greasing the pan

Preparation: Add sugar, salt, yeast to the sifted flour. Peel the potatoes and grate them on the finest grater. Add vegetable oil and grated potatoes to the water. Combine a mixture of flour, sugar and yeast with potato mixture and water. Stir well, place in a warm place and let the dough double in size (this is ~ 1 hour). Then stir and bake, greasing the pan with vegetable oil. The pancake should be allowed to brown well, and then turn over to the other side. It is necessary to bake not on low heat, otherwise the pancakes will be pale. It’s better to bake in a non-stick frying pan; in a cast iron pan, it would stick due to the lack of eggs.

The pancakes are not thin, it is better to eat them warm with sugar lemon. Also, before frying, you can add a little cinnamon to the dough, and put soft lean chocolate glaze inside - it tastes like dark chocolate (3 tbsp cocoa, 3 tbsp powdered sugar, 1 tbsp potato starch, 4 tbsp. l ice water). Bright spring pancakes - delicious with your favorite jam and tea! Bon appetit!

How to calculate the number of pancakes for a funeral, and how many to serve?

Serving pancakes at a wake is also a small science. Each housewife decides for herself how much to cook. The number of pancakes is calculated based on the number of guests. This usually amounts to 2 pancakes per person. Pancakes are either placed in a heap on large shared dishes, or served to everyone in portions on small plates.

What do pancakes symbolize at a funeral?

Pancakes are round and golden; at funerals they are a symbol of the life-giving sun and rebirth.

Since pagan times, pancakes have reflected a person’s connection with the sky, light and the afterlife. Therefore, it is not surprising that pancakes are an almost obligatory dish at funerals. We will discuss the history and traditions of eating and preparing pancakes in the following articles.

And also if the memorial days that you arrange fall on non-fasting days, then you can familiarize yourself with what pancakes symbolize, and.

A cheerful and well-fed Maslenitsa is usually associated with a dish such as pancakes. But there are also Lenten pancakes - their recipe is made taking into account all the features of abstinence in nutrition prescribed by religious rules. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason to deny yourself the pleasure of eating pancakes, even if you observe all Orthodox customs and traditions.

Since the specifics of the kitchen during Lent 2015 are such that there can be no milk, sour cream, or eggs in it, we will have to take this into account when preparing dough for lean pancakes. It can have either a yeast base or yeast-free. In any case, the main ingredients will be water, flour, sugar, salt and vegetable oil. Don’t worry: if you do everything correctly, the result of your labors will be no worse than delicious pancakes on Maslenitsa. — except that there will be less oil there.

Lenten pancakes with flaxseed flour

Prepare lean pancakes. This is a basic recipe that will definitely come in handy for a delicious breakfast during Lent. It is also suitable for you if you are excluding dairy products and eggs due to allergies or dietary reasons. This recipe produces small and rather thick pancakes, in the style of American “pancakes”. Both adults and children always eat them with pleasure. This recipe uses a standard vegan trick: ground flax seed as an egg substitute. If you fill it with water and let it stand for a while, a viscous mass is formed, which perfectly replaces eggs in recipes where they play a binding role. Instead of one egg, you need to take 1 tablespoon of flaxseed flour and 2.5 tablespoons of water. This substitute in baking can also be used for various vegetable “cutlets” during Lent. Flax seed or ready-made flaxseed meal can be purchased at a pharmacy or in the “health” section of a supermarket.

Ingredients: Flaxseed flour – 1 tbsp. l. (ground flaxseed) Water – 2.5 tbsp. l. Wheat flour – 1 cup Sugar – 1 tbsp. l. Baking powder – 1 tsp. Soda – 1/4 tsp. Salt – 1/4 tsp. Soy milk – 255 ml (almond or oat) Vinegar – 1 tsp. (apple) Vegetable oil – 1 tbsp. l. (in the dough) Vegetable oil - for greasing the pan

How to bake lean pancakes with flaxseed flour

First we will make the “egg”. A tablespoon of flaxseed flour should be poured into 2.5 tbsp. l. cool water and let stand.

Then whisk together the flour and other dry ingredients.

Mix soy milk and apple cider vinegar separately - this will give you a lean analogue of the fermented milk product. Acid is needed to react with soda and produce a more fluffy dough.

Then add the oil and the flaxseed “egg”.

Next you need to carefully knead the dough. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the liquid ingredients into it. Stir slowly until the ingredients are combined. There may be a few lumps left, this is normal, the dough does not need to be kneaded for a long time until completely smooth, otherwise the pancakes will turn out hard and “rubbery”

Pay attention to how many bubbles appear in the dough when mixing: it is the soda that reacts with the vinegar, the pancakes will turn out fluffy

Heat a frying pan over high heat. Grease the pan with vegetable oil using a pastry brush or paper towel. To check the temperature, you can bake a test micropancake. When the dough hits the pan, it should sizzle and squeak, and after 1-2 minutes numerous bubbles should form on its surface.

One pancake should take about 4 tablespoons of batter; use a small measuring cup to pour the batter into the pan. If the pan is large enough, you can bake 2-3 pancakes at a time. Fry on one side for 1-2 minutes until many large bubbles appear on the surface and the edges of the pancake begin to turn golden. Turn over and cook for another minute. To keep the pancakes warm, you can put the first batch in the oven, preheated to 75-100 Cº.

Serve Lenten pancakes with fresh berries and fruits, jam or chocolate syrup, or other sweet toppings.

You can add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a grated apple to the dough. It turns out very tasty with nuts and honey. By the way, if you reduce the sugar a little and put one teaspoon instead of a tablespoon, the pancakes will become completely unsweetened and can be served with vegetables or fish. Bon appetit!

How to calculate the number of pancakes for a funeral, and how many to serve?

What do pancakes symbolize at a funeral?

Pancakes are round and golden; at funerals they are a symbol of the life-giving sun and rebirth.

And also if the memorial days that you arrange fall on non-fasting days, then you can familiarize yourself with what pancakes symbolize, and.

Why do people eat pancakes at a funeral dinner and what kind do they usually bake?

Since pagan times, pancakes have been considered a symbol of the sun and rebirth . It is believed that pancakes reflect a person’s connection with heaven and the afterlife. Therefore, it is completely understandable why food should be present at funeral dinners, when people gather to remember and honor the memory of those who have already died.

Usually, rich pancakes are prepared for funerals, but if lunch falls during fasting, especially on the 9th or 40th memorial days, they are made lean.

The food can be served sweet, in the form of snacks, with different fillings . Recipes for preparing pancakes for a funeral largely depend on the preferences of the hostess and her attitude towards religious holidays and fasts.

Preparation

Sift some wheat flour into a cup and add dry yeast. Take any quality and type of flour; it doesn’t matter in pancake dough. Leave the dry mass for a couple of minutes.

Sift the rest of the flour separately.

Add salt and sugar to flour.

Gradually stir the dry ingredients mixture into the yeast dough. There should be no lumps in the dough, so actively beat the mass with a whisk or even a mixer, using the first speed.

Mix the dough thoroughly and leave for a quarter of an hour so that the stickiness of the flour works.

Cooking tips

Although the classic version of such pancakes is prepared with yeast, you can deviate a little from tradition. The main thing here is that the baked goods are lean.

The dough can be kneaded for:

water with baking soda, slaked with vinegar or lemon juice;
potato broth:
on mineral water with gas (gas bubbles loosen the dough and make the pancakes thin and light).

But, in any version of the dough there must be vegetable oil - it makes the pancake mixture more homogeneous and prevents sticking to the pan.

It is allowed to add a little holy water to the dough for funeral pancakes or sprinkle them after cooking.
