Ingredients for Greek pancakes
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
1 cup Greek yogurt
2 large eggs slightly beaten
1 cup water
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
​
Method
-
First, sieve the flour into a bowl and add the baking soda, salt and sugar.
-
Next, crack the eggs and get whisking.
-
Gradually add the water, yoghurt and raisins and mix some more.
-
Now it's ready for the pan. For toppings, we recommend raisins and sultanas.
Ingredients for Russian pancakes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup full fat yogurt
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup apple slices, cut into thin slices
Butter and apples slices for serving
-
Again, sieve the flower into a bowl and add the baking soda, sugar and nutmeg.
-
Now crack your eggs into a separate bowl (try not to split them like we did...).
-
Add the milk and yoghurt and drizzle in a dash of lemon extract. Use more if you're scared of tasting the vinegar.
-
Throw the contents of the bowl into the mixing bowl and stir vigorously.
-
Next, chop an apple into slices and dunk them into the pancake mix.
-
Melt the butter (we used a microwave) and try not to have it spit at you and burn your fingerprints off (like we did). Then add it to mix.
-
Add it to the frying pan and cook some pancakes. Don't forget to flip them.
