In a heated dry frying pan (no need to pour oil), place a tablespoon of dough, enough so that the pancakes are small in size, about the size of a tea saucer. If the pan is large, you can bake several pancakes at the same time, which will reduce the baking time. When the pancakes are browned on one side, turn them over and fry on the other until golden brown.

Serve pancakes with berry syrup, jam, or as traditional Russian pancakes with sour cream. It turns out very tasty, sweet and aromatic, with a cup of coffee or tea. Simple and fast. Bon appetit!
