How to use soda correctly when making pancakes: not all housewives know

10.06.2024 18:35

Some housewives do not add soda to the pancake mixture on principle.

They believe that this component is useless.

There is also an opinion that even a small amount of soda can have a negative effect on the taste of pancakes. This is a misconception, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in cooking for the BelNovosti online publication. But soda really needs to be added as correctly as possible.

What nuances are worth remembering?

Soda can be added to any pancake dough: this issue is not fundamental. However, it is worth understanding that in the absence of acidic components in the composition of the preparation, soda will be useless. Therefore, you will have to add a small amount of vinegar.

Housewives who prepare dough with kefir often do the same: vinegar gives an almost complete guarantee that the pancakes will rise.

You can add soda (like vinegar) directly into the bowl with the mixture and mix immediately.

You don't need to add a lot of soda. Two thirds of a small spoon per half a liter of dough itself will be quite enough.
