Sweet or savory, crunchy and soft at the same time. But how good are the pancakes? Why wait for Carnival?
The pancakes they are party food, in particular they are a snack during a party Carnival when the fried can not miss!
The pancakes are not eaten every day, but they are the whim that you have to take off from time to time. Sweet or savory, how do you prefer them?
They are prepared in different regions of Italy, but apart from the shape and a few more or less ingredients, the common feature is the external crunchiness and the softness in the heart.
The dough is more or less that of pizza, even if someone puts the milk in place of water or adds a boiled potato to have a softer consistency. Then there are those who turn them into donuts, those who make balls, some pizzas, those seasoning with salt, some with sugar and some with tomato sauce or a slice of ham. The really important thing is the bubbles. The perfect pancake must swell during cooking. Careful, therefore at leavening, but also at the temperature of the oil.
C0me the pancakes are prepared
The ingredients of the pancakes are: 250 g of 00 flour, 250 g of manitoba flour, 1 loaf of 25 g of brewer's yeast, 1 cup of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of sugar, salt, a glass of whole milk and Seed oil for frying
Dissolve the yeast in a glass of milk and add the mixture to the flour mixed with a pinch of sugar.
Add the oil and finally the salt and work very well with your hands.
Add more milk until the dough is soft and moist.
Let the dough rise for one or two hours inside a glass container lightly greased and covered with a cloth.
When it is practically doubled, take small quantities with your hands (leaving the dough in the container) and form round pancakes. Take some time and let them rest on a wooden board while the oil reaches the temperature.
When the oil is ready, dip them one at a time.
In a couple of minutes the pancakes are ready.
Drain on absorbent paper and season with a pinch of salt.
