How to make the perfect pancake dough and how to fry them properly: secrets from Yevhen Klopotenko

On February 28, a very colorful holiday week begins in Ukraine, which has several names: Maslenitsa, Cheese Week, and Pancake Week. The main dish of the holiday is certainly pancakes.

They are prepared with all possible, original and tasty fillings, from salty ones - fish, meat, cabbage, cheese, greens - to sweet ones: cherries, cottage cheese, berries, poppy seeds, raisins, apples. But the most important thing in making them is to make a good dough.

On his YouTube channel, chef Yevhen Klopotenko shared a recipe for the perfect dough for pancakes, which will be very tasty, flavorful, and not torn.
