How to make dough for lacy pancakes
Sometimes the dough seems to be done correctly, but the holes do not work out. Pancakes come out ruddy, beautiful, but completely even and not porous. The fact is that the dough for holey pancakes is prepared in a special way, so remember the three main secrets for making delicious lacy pancakes.
First secret: dough with oxygen
Holes are formed from the saturation of the dough with air bubbles, which burst during frying, forming voids in the dough. This can be achieved in many ways, such as kneading dough with live yeast. However, the dough with air bubbles can be prepared on anything - on milk, kefir, whey or water, the main thing is to add slaked soda to it. The more soda you put in, the more holes there will be. But do not overdo it, because soda-flavored pancakes are probably not included in your plans. By the way, so that soda is not felt in pancake dough, be sure to extinguish it with vinegar and not in a spoon, but in a small cup, then you will need less vinegar. Porous pancakes can be prepared without soda - on carbonated water, beer, koumiss, ayran or kefir, which is a product of lactic acid fermentation, so it contains gas. However, some housewives argue that kefir is still better to combine with soda. Sifting flour, long-term whipping of the dough with a whisk or blender also gives an excellent result.
The second secret - insisting the test
While the oxygenated dough is resting, air bubbles loosen it even more. In addition, the fermentation process continues, and new bubbles are constantly formed. Therefore, it is recommended to leave the dough for an hour, and then bake pancakes.
The third secret is the liquid consistency of the dough
The thinner the layer of dough that you pour into the pan, the more delicate and transparent the pancakes are. It is clear that you can’t bake a thin pancake with holes from thick dough, you just get a plump and tasty pancake, which is also not bad, but now we are talking about lacy pancakes. So, pancake dough, resembling liquid sour cream in consistency, should be poured into a pan with a thin layer.
Recipe for lace pancakes with milk

Beat the dough with a blender until fluffy foam, and then enter 1 tsp. slaked soda and 3 cups of flour, continuing to beat - there should not be a single lump in the dough. At the very end, add 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and leave the dough for an hour. It should infuse, saturate with oxygen and become even more bubbly. Fry on both sides in a hot, oiled skillet, flipping as soon as holes appear.
Pancakes on kefir with boiling water
Some housewives cook pancake dough with boiling water, claiming that it is well saturated with oxygen, resulting in thin and delicate pancakes.

Do not be afraid that the eggs will curdle - this will not happen at a high speed of beating, moreover, a very lush foam will appear. Do not stop and, while continuing to beat, pour in a glass of low-fat yogurt. As you already understood, you need to continue to beat further.

After thoroughly kneading, add 1 cup of flour and beat the dough with a whisk or blender until smooth. Soda is not needed in this recipe, since mineral water will saturate the dough with oxygen, and this will be enough to make lace.
Spongy yeast pancakes
