A large stack of pancakes. Amazing facts about pancakes. The heaviest pancake
Our star editor Lena Titok is also a talented cook. On the eve of Broad Maslenitsa, she revealed to us the secrets of low-calorie, thin pancakes “with bubbles.”
To ensure that the pancakes you prepare always turn out tasty and beautiful to look at, remember these seven simple, but very effective rules. With the help of our tips, you will be able to prepare pancakes that are (almost) harmless to your figure, the famous porous pancakes, and pancakes that are good for your health (and your mood!). You can start now: after all, Maslenitsa week is in full swing. But on Sunday, on Broad Maslenitsa, the stack of pancakes should be the tallest, and the pancakes should be the most ruddy!
- Delicious pancakes can be baked not only with milk or kefir, but also with water. Sometimes they turn out even thinner and more beautiful to look at. And they are also lower in calories!
- To make the pancakes easier to remove, add two tablespoons to the dough vegetable oil. It is desirable that it be olive or cedar. This is healthier, and the taste will be more delicate.
- If you want your pancakes to be “porous”, add half a glass of mineral water with gas to the dough.
- It is best to bake pancakes in a cast iron or ceramic frying pan. No newfangled pancake maker can compare with this proven cookware.
- If you are going to cook pancakes with filling, feel free to add starch to the dough. It is best to mix it in equal proportions with flour. “Starchy” pancakes will be very easy to remove from the pan. In addition, they are denser than usual: the filling will not leak out of them. But, unfortunately, such pancakes lack “blush”: they look paler than their purely flour counterparts. By the way, you can bake pancakes entirely from starch. Not very useful, but as a measure in the absence of other flour it’s quite suitable!
- The pancake batter must be free of lumps. If you can’t mix with a whisk or fork, just use a mixer. Sift the flour and add gradually.
- If you cook pancakes with milk, be sure to heat it before mixing with other ingredients. It is advisable that the eggs are also at room temperature. The same rule applies to water if you use it as a base.

Pancakes come in different varieties: fresh and custard, buckwheat and wheat, and sometimes even record-breaking. In the village Stanichno-Luganskoe during folk festivals On the Maslenitsa holiday, a new pancake record was set - the village residents built the tallest pyramid of pancakes in the history of the country. 20 Luhansk chefs managed not only to bake a whole pile of pancakes in 15 hours, but also to stack them 3m 13cm high! Each newly made pancake was threaded onto a metal pin. This required active motor exercises for 6 people. The maximum diameter of pancakes is 30 cm. Moreover, even the first pancake was not lumpy! The height of the grandiose structure could have been even greater, but under their own weight the pancakes began to sag. Therefore, we decided that the main thing was to stop in time.
Baking pancakes for the record-breaking pyramid took 200 kg of flour, 350 eggs and almost 160 liters of milk. After the new record was declared successful, the guests of the holiday enjoyed the pancakes with great pleasure.
The location of the celebration was not chosen by chance. Maslenitsa is a special holiday for Stanitsa Luganskaya, the only Donskaya village in Ukraine. The original Cossacks put farewell to winter on a par in importance with the great Orthodox holidays. Lugansk residents dedicated their record to the upcoming 70th anniversary of the Lugansk region and the 90th anniversary of the formation of the Stanichno-Lugansk region. Leaders of the Stanichno-Lugansk district, chairman of the Stanichno-Lugansk regional public organization “Young Regions”, director of the regional utility enterprise “Sport for All” Oleg Akimov, as well as honorary guests present at the celebration - People's Deputy of Ukraine Alexander Efremov, head of the Lugansk Regional State Administration Vladimir Pristyuk and Deputy Chairman of the Lugansk Regional Council Yuri Khunov received memorable Certificates of record.
