Fried pancakes. That’s right, fried pancakes. They are like a heavenly mix of a donut and a pancake.
Are you ready for a crazy good recipe? You may look at the ingredients and say to yourself, “hey, that looks just like a buttermilk pancake.” I thought the same thing. Let me tell you, these are a far cry from a buttermilk pancake. These babies are fried, crispy on the outside, light and airy on the inside. It’s like some kind of donut pancake and it is pure deliciousness.
Fun fact: this recipe is based on a classic Russian breakfast called Oladi. Our Russian friends apparently eat these with jam and sour cream. We enjoyed ours with fresh berries and sour cream. Now, you may be a bit skeptical about the sour cream. Just trust me on this one. Russian sour cream is a bit different than the American kind (higher fat content), but it’s served with practically everything. They are on to something here because the sour cream was a tasty touch. You really must try it with sour cream. For reals.
Just a quick note to express my thanks and gratitude for your AMAZING recipes. You have been a “GODSEND” throughout this pandemic. You have graced out table and enhanced our palates with yourecipe and personality. Thank you so much for EVERY mouth-watering delight.
Let me preface this with I CANNOT COOK! This recipe was so easy and SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! ABSOLUTE BOMB! EVERYONE LOVED IT!! Thanks so much for sharing! I am not sure what the RUssian sour cream is, but my husband is French, and we use Creme Fraiche A LOT in our house (which is just like sour cream, but creamier and more tart. It’s so yummy!) I dusted these little gems with powdered sugar, and then I had one with the Creme Fraiche, one with the creme fraiche and a black currant compote and one with a warm syrup drizzle. OMG!!!! Thanks again for sharing!
