I made this without eggs for breakfast today. I’m not exaggerating - the pancakes actually turn out fluffy, rise well in the pan and are delicious! I don’t like pancakes, neither eating nor frying, nor according to any recipe. But the children ask from time to time, so I cook. After making homemade cheese, I had some whey left over, and the recipe for whey pancakes came in very handy. I wanted to try whether the pancakes are really as good as they promise or not. I can say that the whey-based pancakes turned out delicious; when completely cooled, they were also good. The recipe makes quite a lot of pancakes, so if you don’t have enough to eat, divide all the ingredients in half.
Ingredients
Quantity: 25 pieces
1. To prepare pancakes, take whey, flour, salt, sugar, soda.
2. Pour the whey into a metal cup and heat until slightly hot. We try it with our finger - the serum should not burn, but not warm either.
3. Pour salt and sugar into the hot whey and stir.
4. Mix flour with soda.
5. Pour the flour into a cup with hot whey and knead the dough with a spoon. Knead the dough quickly and thoroughly so that there are no lumps left.
6. Pour some oil into the frying pan. Heat the frying pan with oil, but do not heat it! Use a spoon to scoop out the dough and place the pancakes in the pan.
Fry the pancakes on both sides, add more oil if necessary. The heat should be medium, or even a little less, otherwise the pancakes will burn and remain raw in the middle.
Delicious, fluffy and unforgettable pancakes will win the heart of everyone who tries them, especially if they are made with whey. The recipe for this dish is very simple, and even a novice housewife can handle it.
What kind of pancakes can be delicious and the most unrealistic? Naturally, those that are made strictly according to the recipe, as well as those that contain filling.
In fact, making a lot of pancakes is easy, even if they are made with filling.
What could it be? It all depends on personal taste and preference.
Can be used:
As for the sauce, depending on the filling, you should choose sweet or salty or spicy.
You shouldn’t confuse pancakes and pancakes at all.
The second ones are different:
Pancakes have always been a simple, satisfying and tasty dish. They can be suitable for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even just for a snack. They can be prepared with yeast, however, yeast is made if the base is water. To add fluffiness to pancakes, it is best to use kefir, yogurt or whey. The peculiarity of these liquids is that they have an acidic environment, in which, when soda is added, a reaction immediately begins. In other words, carbon dioxide begins to be released, due to which that very necessary splendor appears.
It is worth adding citric acid at the end of preparing the dough, but after this component, the flour is no longer poured in, otherwise the reaction will be completely different, and the flour will turn into lumps.
It is worth noting that this pancake recipe is prepared without eggs.
Recipe:
It is advisable to serve the pancakes hot and with tea, coffee or hot chocolate and similar drinks.
It is worth noting that whey can be used to make pancakes, both sweet and savory, depending on personal preferences. In addition, it is permissible to add various types of fillings, if desired. As for adding sauce, again, it depends on whether they are salty or sweet. The first is suitable for sour cream, garlic or mayonnaise sauce. For sweets, the choice of additives is simply unlimited - it can be jam, preserves, syrup, condensed milk, jam, yogurt and similar products.
I know that many housewives, when frying beautiful thin pancakes, are afraid or do not dare to cook pancakes. But pancakes are a wonderful Sunday breakfast for your family. Children will be delighted with it, and adults too. You can serve the pancakes with whatever your heart desires. Condensed milk, jam, honey with sour cream, and just like that with milk they look appetizing. You can make pancakes from the simplest and most affordable products. We will prepare fluffy pancakes using whey.
Compound:
- serum – 200 ml,
- flour – 180 g,
- sugar – 2 tbsp. l.,
- soda – 0.5 tsp,
- vanilla sugar – 1 tsp. (I use vanilla extract - 1 tsp).
How to cook with photos step by step
To prepare fluffy pancakes, we take the most ordinary flour (it is not necessary to take the highest grade, bread flour will do), whey, sugar, vanilla, soda and, as usual, a pinch of salt.
First, let's take the serum. To make the pancakes fluffy, the whey must be warm, so we heat it in the microwave or on the stove, whichever is easier. The main thing is not to overdo it - the whey should not boil. Now that the whey is warm, you can add sugar, vanilla (in any form) and a pinch of salt. Take a whisk and stir the mixture until the sugar dissolves.
Sift the flour (this is not necessary, but it is advisable) and add to the whey.
Now the most important thing is to mix everything well, lumps in the dough are not welcome. The consistency of the dough is moderately thick and lazily slides off the spoon.
Add soda to the dough at the very end.
Mix vigorously - the soda should be evenly distributed throughout the entire volume of the dough.
The whey dough is ready - our pancakes can be fried. Heat the frying pan (preferably cast iron) well.
Fry our fluffy pancakes mixed with whey in vegetable oil on each side until golden brown.

Not every housewife succeeds with serum. In fact, everything is very simple. A few secret tricks and original recipes for this dish will add another quick and tasty breakfast to your menu.
To prepare whey pancakes you will need:

Making pancakes without eggs. A set of products for 1 glass of liquid:
Knead the dough, gradually combine the liquid with flour. This way the mass turns out homogeneous and without lumps. If time permits, you can “forget” the dough for 10–15 minutes in a warm place. In the frying pan, the mass should not spread, but should be laid out evenly and plastically. If you overdo it with flour, you will end up with heavy, unbaked pancakes. The finished pancakes are topped with condensed milk, sweet syrup, jam or preserves.
Instead of soda, you can use yeast, as our grandmothers did. The pancakes will turn out tasty and aromatic. However, you will have to tinker a little longer. Ingredients: whey 1 tbsp., sugar 2 tbsp. l., 1 egg, yeast 20 g (dry), flour 2 tbsp. Oil for frying, salt, vanillin to taste.
