Forgotten recipes: preparing boyar pancakes for Maslenitsa

National cuisine is rich in recipes. There are almost dozens of recipes for pancakes, oladyi and blini alone.

In addition to the classic "nalistniki" and the exquisite "royal" pancakes, there are some rather original, but not at all ascetic recipes, for example, boyar pancakes.

To prepare you will need:

• 3 cups buckwheat flour;
• 2 cups of wheat flour;
• 4 glasses of milk;
• 1 cup cream (heavy);
• 1 glass of sour cream;
• 100 g butter;
• 5 eggs;
• 30 g yeast;
• 1 tbsp. sugar and salt to taste.

How to cook

Bring the milk to a boil, let it cool and, measuring out ½ cup, soak the yeast in it.

Then you need to dilute the dough in buckwheat flour and, when it rises, add the rest of the warm milk.

Separate the whites from the yolks and grind the yolks with sour cream, butter, sugar and salt.

Then pour this mixture into the dough base, add wheat flour.

Knead the dough and let it rise.

At this time, in a separate bowl, beat the cream with the egg whites, and then add the resulting mixture to the dough.

Stir, set aside to rest for 15-20 minutes and you can bake pancakes.

Bon appetit!
