When baking pancakes, even experienced housewives face the problem that the pancakes begin to tear. How to deal with this?
In fact, there are several techniques that have proven their effectiveness in practice.
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova , a cook and fourth-class baker, told what to do in this case.
Correct dough consistency
The first step to perfect pancakes is getting the batter right. Too much runny batter can cause the pancakes to tear when you roll them, while too much thick batter can cause them to be tough and dense.
It is important to choose the optimal ratio of flour, milk and eggs so that the dough is liquid enough, but not too loose.
It is important to preheat the pan
Before you start making the pancakes, make sure the pan is hot enough. A well-heated pan allows the batter to spread evenly over the surface and form a strong crust, which will help prevent breakage when turning.
There should be some oil in the frying pan.
Many modern housewives try to avoid using oil during cooking, making a serious mistake.
It is important to understand that adding a little oil to the pan before each pancake will help prevent them from sticking and will make them easier to roll. Oil also helps to create a crispy crust, which makes the pancakes stronger and less likely to break.
Correct thickness
Thin pancakes are usually easier to fold and wrap without tearing than thick ones. In addition, thin pancakes bake faster, which reduces the risk of overdrying and tearing. Thickness always plays a role, but here it is also worth starting from the rational component.
How to flip correctly
Finally, when wrapping or folding the pancakes, you should be careful. It is best to use a silicone spatula to gently flip the pancake, avoiding sudden movements that could cause it to tear.
