Sour milk fritters - basic technological principles
Sour milk for bulk dough can have any fat content, any processing method and any composition. It can be a mixture of kefir, yogurt, sour cream and sour milk. Not used on time, dairy products are an excuse to bake. The principle of preparing bulk dough for fritters from sour milk is the simplest: take flour, sour milk, a pinch of salt, be sure, even if you are making sweet dough. Eggs can be added as desired - vegetarians can replace them with a spoon of potato starch, combining it with flour. The main thing is the presence of lactic acid formed in the product under the influence of lactic acid bacteria. These microorganisms, like yeast fungi, improve the quality of the dough, giving it splendor, providing rise when baking. The only difference is that baker's yeast is more active and resilient organism, so yeast dough rises much faster.
No one bothers to add a little yeast to sour milk. If you use yeast when kneading dough, then soda and other baking powder can not be added. If you do not like yeast dough, use baking soda, ammonium powder, any baking powder will do. It is important to create an acid-base reaction that ensures the release of carbon dioxide and the rise of the dough.
Then everything depends on the taste, mood and imagination of the cook. Nobody can name the exact number of recipes as fritters. Most often they are cooked without any recipes - there would be flour in the house. The classic recipe for sour milk fritters can be changed indefinitely. One additional ingredient to the test - a new recipe is ready. Do children like sweets? Add dried fruits, cocoa, vanilla and serve a breakfast dish with whipped cream, boiled condensed milk or your favorite jam - let the little treasure go to school happy, sugar activates mental performance, and it is necessary for the child during the educational process. Dear man, you want to taste the meat during breakfast? Nothing is simpler: make a dough for a frit of sour milk without sugar, and instead add slices of meat.
Of course, pancakes can be prepared on water, or on the juice of vegetables or fruits, but milk protein makes the dough more tender and soft. Therefore, pancakes made of sour milk are the best way to bake in haste.
