Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pancake dough with holes? To prepare pancake dough, prepare the necessary ingredients. Sift the flour through a sieve a couple of times. Eggs can be used of any type. It is advisable to take milk slightly warmed or at least at room temperature.

Gradually add flour to the bowl and knead the dough.

Step 5

Step 5
Quench the baking soda with vinegar and add to the bowl with the dough. The soda will immediately react with the vinegar and due to this the dough will be saturated with air bubbles.

Step 6

Step 6
The finished dough should be quite liquid, homogeneous, without lumps of flour. It is from the liquid dough that pancakes with holes will be obtained. They must be baked in a very hot frying pan. Before the first pancake, grease the pan a little with vegetable oil. Pour the batter into a hot frying pan and let it spread in a thin layer. Cook the pancakes over medium heat, frying on both sides until golden brown.

Stack the finished pancakes on top of each other. I usually cover them with a lid to keep them from drying out. Ready-made pancakes from this dough are very tasty. Prepare for your health!
