The classic version of pancake dough requires the use of the following ingredients: flour, milk, eggs, salt, sugar, vegetable oil.
However, some housewives replace the last component with mayonnaise.
It is worth noting that in most cases both the cook and the person who eats the finished dish are satisfied with the result.
The fact is that thanks to the non-standard additive, the preparation of pancakes is simplified, and the dish itself turns out much more appetizing.
There are at least four reasons why you should add mayonnaise to your pancake base.
You can use less oil
The presence of mayonnaise in the dough, which has a fairly high fat content, eliminates the need for the cook to add vegetable oil.
In addition, you don't have to pour a large amount of this viscous liquid into the frying pan. As a result, the pancakes, despite the presence of mayonnaise in their composition, are not as greasy as usual.
Making cooking easier
Mayonnaise improves the consistency of the dough. During frying, pancakes do not tear and can be turned over without problems.
The dish turns out tender
Thanks to the white sauce, the dish acquires incredible softness and airiness.
There will be no talk of the prepared pancakes being dry.
The dish turns out beautiful
Due to mayonnaise, pancakes acquire an appetizing appearance. And all thanks to a beautiful golden crust.
