They are thicker pancakes, they are usually cooked in Russia before fasting begins and are made with yeast or baking powder. I really liked the pumpkin version, I think next time I would add a little more sugar. You can eat them with sour cream, yogurt or any favorite pancake filling.

Step by step

Step 1

Peel a squash, cut it into small pieces.

I cooked it in the microwave - I put it in a heat-resistant glass bowl, poured a little water at the bottom of the pot and I left it at maximum power for 15 minutes, then I mixed the pumpkin and I put it in another 15 minutes. When it is ready, let it cool well.

Step 2

In a deeper bowl I mixed the warm milk well with the yeast and flour. I let it grow well for 30 minutes.

Step 3

This is what it looks like after the composition has grown.

Step 4

Separate the egg whites from the yolks. The latter mix well with sugar.

Step 5

Mash the pumpkin well with a fork and add it together with the yolks in the dough. Mix well.

Step 6

Whisk the egg whites and add to the dough. Mix carefully and let it rise a little, about 10 minutes.

Step 7

This is how the dough should be.

Step 8

Heat a pan well, grease it with a little oil and pour 2-3 tablespoons of dough. Bake the pancakes over medium heat, at first they grow a lot and then they are flattened.
