OLADI (RUSSIAN PANCAKES)

Steps:

• Mix yeast with warm milk, add flour and blend until smooth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place (for about 2 hours). If using the oven/stove for other cooking, you can turn on one burner at very low heat, just enough to create some heat. Put the dough in a bowl, covered with a thin washcloth on the adjacent unlit burner or in the center of the stove to rise. It will also rise at room temperature, but works better warm.
• Mix eggs, salt and sugar and 1 tablespoon oil into the dough and allow to rise again (for about 1/2 hour). Without mixing dough again, use a wet spoon to spoon out portions of dough onto a greased hot pan. Dollop out with a soup spoon, the pancakes are small. About the size of a sand-dollar or teacup circumference. They rise like blini, but unlike blini are not thin, they should rise about 2-3cm tall.
• Cook on both sides until golden brown.
• Serve immediately with preserves and sour cream (or creme fraiche). Also good with honey, farmer's cheese or fresh fruit and sugar. Or any combo you like!

OLADI (RUSSIAN PANCAKES)

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl, mix the milk, yeast and flour with a wooden spoon.
• 2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough doubles, 30-50 minutes.
• 3. When the dough has doubled in size, add the eggs, oil, sugar and salt. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
• 4. Cover and repeat rising time, once again until the dough doubles.
• 5. Heat a few Tbsp. of oil in a nonstick skillet on medium heat.
• 6. Since the dough is very sticky, it will stick to the spoon. Fill a mug with water and dunk your spoon in the water every time you get more dough. Gently scoop the dough, trying not to deflate it as much as possible. The dough doesn't stick to the spoon and effortlessly slides right off and into the skillet.
• 7. Cook until golden on both sides.
• 8. Drain on a paper towel. Enjoy with sour cream, jam, berries, etc. You can also add apples, berries, chocolate chips or nuts to the oladi. Simply add them to the batter when adding eggs, sugar, oil and salt.
• 9. HINT: Whisk some sour cream with sugar and vanilla and dunk each pancake in the sour cream mixture. Layer all the oladi in a bowl and the sweet sour cream will seep into the oladi, making them even more tender and juicy.
