Why is it necessary to add salt to the pancake batter: a secret

Thin pancakes can be made with different fillings, but the most important thing is to make a successful batter without lumps, which determines the taste and texture of the dish.

In one of the cooking blogs(recepty_smachno_) on Instagram shared some of the secrets of making successful thin pancakes, in particular the batter.

Rules for making thin pancakes

1. The base for making pancakes - milk, water, kefir - must be at room temperature. In a warm environment, the flour will give up its gluten faster.

2. The flour should be sifted just before adding it to the batter. In this way it will be enriched with oxygen and the pancakes will be puffy.

3. Eggs for cooking must be at room temperature. You need to take them out of the refrigerator beforehand. If you forget, put them in warm water for a few minutes.

4. No matter what the filling of future pancakes will be: salty or sweet, it is necessary to add sugar and salt to the pancake batter. Salt makes the flavor of pancakes richer and more balanced, and sugar makes the dish ruddy. But it is important not to add too much, so that in the process the pancakes do not start to burn.

5. Fry the pancakes on medium heat, so they cook evenly and do not burn.
