No. 1651 — Pancakes with Lemon
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 1651 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Make small pancakes as cited in the source (No. 1686) and brown on both sides.
Sprinkle half with sugar and grated lemon zest and squeeze several drops of lemon juice on each; pair the pancakes and serve immediately, hot.
Alternatively stack in a saucepan, turn onto a dish at service and garnish with meringue and jam.
To provide
3 glasses milk and 2 glasses flour 1–2 eggs, salt and 1 lemon | ½ glass sugar and ⅜ pound butter Optional 4 whites, ½ glass sugar and jam |
Historical editorial note: The source's cross-reference No. 1686 points to an omelette rather than its basic pancake recipe.
