Step by step

Step 1

First of all, boil the semolina with milk as follows:

Put 500 ml of milk to boil - when it starts to boil, add the semolina "in the rain", stirring constantly with a whisk, so that they are not lumpy. Make a low heat and simmer for 5 minutes - stirring regularly.

Step 2

After those 5 minutes turn off the heat, add the butter and let all this cool, melt, swell - 30 minutes.

Step 3

Then pour this mixture into a bowl in which you will make the pancake dough, add a flavor, salt and sugar - mix well.

Step 4

Pour the remaining 250 ml of milk, mix.

Step 5

Then add the eggs, mix well to incorporate them - you can also use the mixer.

Step 6

Add flour and baking powder - mix well.

Step 7

A tablespoon of oil, stir.

Step 8

And just before you start baking them, add mineral water or boiling hot water.

Step 9

Heat the pancake pan well - pour a little oil and to remove the excess oil, wipe the pan a little with a paper napkin. The pan will be greased exactly for pancakes.

Step 10

Pour about a pinch of dough, let it bake over medium heat - when you notice the reddish edges take a toothpick and gently pass it through the edge of the pancake to separate it from the pan.

Step 11

Gently grasp with your fingers or a spatula and turn the pancake on the other side - leave for 5-10 seconds.

Step 12

Then turn it over on a flat plate and see how you arrange them.

Step 13

Because the pancakes come out tender and soft at first, it is no longer necessary to build them one on top of the other to soften and burn them. As soon as I take them out of the pan, I arrange them nicely for serving.

So - fold the pancake in half.

Step 14

Then halfway through.

Step 15

And optional again in half.

Step 16

And ... forget how she runs away from the plate - she usually caresses me to give it to her, here she quickly grabs them from the plate and runs away.
