Oladi
Oladi are Russian yeast pancakes with dried apples for a delicious, fluffy welcome breakfast any morning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ TB salt
- 2 TB sugar
- ½ TB active dry yeast
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 medium apples, chopped (about 1 cup)
- butter for the pan
Instructions
- Whisk together the buttermilk, water, eggs, salt, sugar and yeast
- Add the flour, one cup at a time until this is the texture of cake batter. No lumps, please.
- Place, covered, in a warm place to rise (I use the oven since the ambient temperature in my apartment is about 61 degrees). Let rise about an hour.
- After the hour, carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, being careful not to deflate them
- In a large skillet, heat 1 TB of oil over medium-low, medium heat. Place heaping ¼ cup size mounds onto the skillet and let cook until golden brown, then turn over, about 3-4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining batter.
