Raw chicken eggs are an important ingredient in pancake batter.

Without this product, it will be difficult to "bind" the components. In addition, the dough will clearly not be rich and will not acquire the ideal consistency.

And in general, thanks to the eggs, the pancakes turn out much more appetizing.

But it is important not to overdo it with this ingredient. Due to the abundance of the egg component, the dish may lose its softness and "airiness".

So, how many eggs should you add to the base to get perfect pancakes?

The correct ratio of ingredients

For 500 milliliters of liquid (usually kefir is used when making pancakes, sometimes a small amount of water is added), one raw egg is enough.

Many housewives add more eggs, which is why the dish loses its fluffiness.

But if you use less egg component, the pancakes will turn out truly airy and soft - like fluff.

Important nuance: the rule only applies to pancakes. Do not even think of following the recommendation when making pancakes, because you need to add more eggs to the pancake batter.
