So lush and airy that it’s impossible to tear yourself away! Mordovian pancakes made with semolina are thick and very filling. At the same time, they do not contain flour, but the pancakes contain a lot of eggs, which make them bright and beautiful. It doesnʼt take long to cook pancakes, even though they contain yeast.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make thick Mordovian pancakes on semolina? Prepare your food. Milk is suitable for any fat content, eggs — choice or first category, if they are small, then take one more. Remove the eggs from the refrigerator ahead of time to keep them warm. If you didn’t have time to do this, then keep the eggs in warm water for 10-15 minutes. It is better to use fast-acting yeast, since the dough will rise for a very short time. Read more about yeast at the end of the recipe.

Step 2

Step 2
Pour semolina into a bowl for dough, add dry yeast there. Stir and pour warm milk over the dry mixture. It is important that the milk is pleasantly warm and not hot, so that it does not burn the yeast, but activates it. Mix semolina with milk with a whisk, cover the bowl with a towel and leave to stand on the table for about 30 minutes. Read more about choosing semolina in the article at the link at the end of the recipe.

When the bottom side is browned and the top is dry, turn the pancake over to the other side. Fry it also covered. Remove the finished pancake to a plate. You can grease it with butter. Fry pancakes using all the dough in this way. I got 6 pancakes, a frying pan with a diameter of 18 cm.
