Lenten pancakes on mineral water without eggs and milk
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!
Note: It is best to sift flour through a sieve so that it is saturated with oxygen.
Cooking with brine
To prepare pancakes with brine you will need:
- flour - up to half a kilo;
- brine from tomatoes or cucumbers (not cloudy) – 1500 ml;
- vegetable oil – 50 ml;
- soda – 1.5 tsp.
Kneading the dough, which is based on brine, will only take a couple of minutes of your time:
- Combine the flour and soda and immediately pour in the brine and oil.
- Knead until completely homogeneous and, without hesitating for a minute, since the brine may precipitate, proceed to baking the pancakes.
Pancakes in brine have a pleasant spicy aroma due to the presence of traditional pickle spices in the brine. These pancakes go better with vegetables and mushrooms filling.

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 milk) 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!

Gradually add water and mix with a whisk. The amount of water may differ from that given in the recipe, determine by the thickness of the dough, it should be like liquid sour cream. The dough must be stirred very well so that there are no lumps.
When the desired dough consistency is reached, add 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and mix again.
Heat a frying pan and fry the pancakes on both sides until golden brown.
Pancakes on water without eggs are ready. Place them on a plate.

Lenten pancakes with semolina
Pancakes can be prepared without milk and eggs, and they will taste even more tender than classic ones. These pancakes are prepared with the addition of semolina, which does not taste at all in the finished pancakes. Lenten pancakes with semolina are perfect for a Lenten meal, as well as for those who do not consume dairy products or eggs. Ingredients: Semolina - 60 g Wheat flour - 140 g (1 glass) Water - 1.1 l Sugar - 2 tbsp. l. Salt - 1 tsp. Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp. l.
How to cook lean pancakes with semolina
Pour 750 ml of water into a saucepan or saucepan and add sugar and salt. Place the saucepan on the fire and bring the liquid to a boil; during this time the sugar and salt will completely dissolve.
Pour semolina into boiling water in a thin stream, stirring constantly with a hand whisk or mixer at low speed. Bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Now you need to mix the flour with water. To do this, take half a glass of flour and pour 170-180 ml of warm boiled water into it, mix well so that there are no lumps.
Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the semolina and stir. Then repeat this procedure again with the remaining flour. The pancake batter should contain twice as much flour as semolina, otherwise the pancakes will tear during frying and will not turn over well. Mix the contents of the saucepan well again with a whisk so that there are no lumps, and add 1 tablespoon of odorless vegetable oil.
The consistency of the dough should be thicker than for pancakes, but much thinner than for pancakes - something in between.
Heat the frying pan well and grease it with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Pour the batter into the bottom of the hot pan. You will see that the dough will be covered with many holes - this is how it should be. Fry the pancakes on both sides for about 1 minute.
Pancakes fry quickly. You need to constantly make sure they don't burn. Since the pancakes are prepared without eggs, they will be slightly lighter than regular pancakes. But if you keep them in the pan longer, you can achieve a more ruddy color. In order to easily flip the pancake to the other side, you should wait until its edges dry well and begin to rise slightly. Do not pour too much batter into the pan, otherwise the pancakes will be thick and may tear when flipping.
Place the finished pancakes on top of each other in a stack or envelope.
While Lenten pancakes with semolina are hot, they are incredibly tender, and honey or jam goes perfectly with them. Bon appetit!
How to cook lean pancakes with yeast
When baking lean pancakes with yeast, they are more troublesome than regular pancakes. The dough continuously “grows” and bubbles, sticking even to an oiled surface - a proven frying pan and some skills will help out. But the result is not disappointing. On the contrary, pancakes without eggs and milk, thanks to the warm yeast aroma, taste deceptively rich, and their texture is soft, flexible, and springy. With yeast the taste is completely different, for fasting people it’s simply great. Especially if they contain your favorite jam.
Ingredients: Flour - 180 g Water - 500 ml Dry yeast - 1 tsp. Sugar - 2 tbsp. l. Salt - a pinch Vanilla sugar - 5-10 g Vegetable oil - 30 ml
Preparation:
In about 150 ml of warm water, dilute a portion of dry yeast and 1 tbsp. l. Sahara. Cover with film until foam appears for 7-10 minutes.
The yeast mixture should foam noticeably. Add the remaining water.
Mix the sifted flour with salt and a second spoon of sugar, flavor with vanilla sugar if desired. Pour in the dough, knead the homogeneous pancake dough.
Beat again with vegetable oil.
Bake lean pancakes with yeast, after preheating the pan, until golden brown on both sides.
Serve lean pancakes with yeast warm or cooled - delicious with your favorite jam and tea! Bon appetit!
Note: The appearance of small bubbles on the surface of the dough indicates that the yeast has begun its work.

The pancakes should turn out thin. They are served topped with jam or filled with various meats, vegetables, and so on. Prepared pancakes are sometimes topped with sour cream, butter and honey.
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

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!

Now the mass should be thoroughly mixed with a whisk until smooth.
The next and final step is to add vegetable oil. Mix everything again with a whisk. The result was a beautiful glossy mass. If you add more cocoa the color will become even richer.

Then you should add a couple of tablespoons of water and mix well. And you can fry further. The whisk has done its job, we remove it. Now take a plastic ladle from a multicooker - its volume is just enough for a medium frying pan, about 24 cm in diameter. It is better to use a non-stick frying pan or a well-prepared cast-iron frying pan, cleaned with salt and well oiled. You can also use a frying pan with a ceramic coating, such as Tefal.
Next, pour some vegetable oil into a saucer. Using a silicone brush, we will grease the pan before each pancake.
