Necessary ingredients
For pancakes:
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream (approximately 200 ml)
- 50 ml oil (preferably sunflower or olive)
- 2 cups milk (approximately 500 ml)
- 2 cups flour (approximately 250 g)
- 1 cup sparkling water (250 ml)
- 1/2 cup sugar (approximately 100 g)
- a pinch of salt
- vanilla essence (1-2 teaspoons)
For the cream:
- 200 ml sour cream
- 5 tablespoons powdered sugar (approximately 75 g)
- 100 ml liquid whipped cream
- rum essence (1 teaspoon)
- sour cherries (fresh or from compote, as preferred)
Preparation instructions
1. Preparing the pancake batter:
In a large bowl, crack the 2 eggs and add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix well until the mixture becomes homogeneous and slightly frothy. This step is essential for fluffy pancakes.
2. Add the sour cream and oil:
Next, incorporate the sour cream and oil into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. The sour cream will not only provide a creamy texture but will also enrich the flavor of the pancakes.
3. Incorporate the milk and flour:
Gradually add the milk and flour alternately, mixing continuously. It is important to avoid lumps in the batter, so use a whisk or mixer to achieve a smooth paste.
4. Add the sparkling water:
If you want fluffier and airier pancakes, add sparkling water to the mixture. This will add a touch of finesse. Mix until the batter reaches the consistency of liquid sour cream.
5. Resting the batter:
Cover the bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This step will allow the ingredients to blend harmoniously, making the pancakes easier to cook.
6. Cooking the pancakes:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease it with a little oil. Pour a portion of the pancake batter into the skillet, swirling the skillet to evenly cover the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the edges become golden and the pancake easily lifts from the skillet. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook on the other side as well.
7. Preparing the cream:
In a bowl, whip the cold sour cream with the powdered sugar until you achieve a firm consistency. Then, fold in the whipped cream and rum essence. This cream will provide a refined taste and will perfectly complement the pancakes.
8. Filling the pancakes:
Place two pancakes on a piece of plastic wrap (aluminum foil). Add a layer of cream and place the sour cherries on the edges. Roll the pancakes tightly, using the wrap to help, and wrap them well. Let them chill for an hour.
9. Serving:
After chilling, cut the rolled pancakes into 3-4 cm pieces. Decorate each serving with whipped cream and a few fresh or compote sour cherries for an appetizing appearance.
