Cooking Features
Even an aspiring culinary specialist will be able to fry delicious pancakes from dough mixed in condensed milk, since this task is not a difficult one. However, to obtain the best result, a chef needs to know and take into account several important points.
- Condensed milk sold in stores can be very different in quality. Often under the guise of condensed milk sold milk-containing product, in which a significant place is occupied by vegetable fats. Such a product will not give the pancakes the expected taste, this will require condensed milk made from whole cow's milk and sugar. There should be no other components in the composition of a good product.
- If you want to use condensed milk to make dough for pancakes, you need to get it out of the fridge in advance. Then it becomes more liquid, and it will be easier to mix with other products.
- The remaining ingredients that make up the dough for the pancakes, too, do not interfere with getting out of the refrigerator in advance. If you use products taken directly from the refrigerator, the pancakes may not be sufficiently fluffy.
- Flour plays a big role in making tasty and delicious pancakes. The second-rate product gives products a grayish tint and a specific flavor, interrupting the subtle notes of condensed milk. Flour of the highest or at least the first grade allows you to get the best result, while it costs slightly more expensive. To save on this product is inappropriate.
- Flour of any quality must be sifted before mixing. The main purpose of this manipulation is not to rid the product of small litter and insect larvae, although this is also significant. The main task is to saturate flour with oxygen. After sifting, it becomes easy, it is easier to combine it with other components, preventing the formation of lumps. Dough products made from sifted flour are more airy.
- A dough is considered to be optimal for making pancakes, its consistency resembling village sour cream. To get this, sometimes you need to take a little more or a little less flour than indicated in the recipe. Therefore, it is recommended to inject flour into the dough in small portions, carefully stirring it each time to prevent the formation of flour lumps.
- Sugar is usually not added to pancake dough cooked in condensed milk, but a pinch of salt is not superfluous - it will enhance the taste of the finished dish.
- Fry pancakes in a hot frying pan, covered with vegetable oil. Spread portions of dough on it with a tablespoon, keeping a small interval between them so that they do not stick together during frying. Before a set of dough, a spoon is usually dipped into a glass of water so that the dough does not stick to it.
- If you want to get fluffy pancakes, you need to fry them under a lid over low heat. It takes about 5-6 minutes. On the first side, the pancakes usually roast for 3-4 minutes, the second side is usually just two minutes.
On condensed milk alone, dough is usually not prepared for pancakes. This ingredient is supplemented with more liquid: whole milk, kefir, low-fat sour cream or yogurt. The choice depends on the specific recipe.
