- These would be called placuszki drożdżowe in Polish.
- They are small American style pancakes.
- They are similar to dropped scones in the north of England.
- They are similar to bliny but made with wheat flour.
- They are a variation on my bliny recipe and you could use half wheat and half buckwheat flour (I intend to try this soon).
Ingredients
- 170g plain flour
- 1 tablespoon of dried yeast
- 250ml of lukewarm milk.
- 3½ tablespoons of granulated sugar
- 50g of melted butter
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- *
- Little bit of sunflower oil for frying
Method
- In a bowl mix the yeast, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 125ml of milk.
- Leave for around 10 minutes to froth up.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, salt and 2½ tablespoons of sugar.
- Mix in the eggs, 125ml of milk and the butter.
- Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Cover the bowl (a shower cap is good) and leave to rise.
- This will depend on the room temperature – mine took 90 minutes.
- Use a cast iron gridle pan or similar.
- Heat the pan up and add a little sunflower oil.
- Place large tablespoons of batter on the pan.
- Adjust the temperature to a medium heat so not to burn them.
- Cook on both sides.
- Keep in a warm oven whilst making more.
