How to cook frozen pancakes in a frying pan
The most popular way to cook frozen pancakes is to fry them in a regular frying pan, so first we’ll look at how to properly fry pancakes in a frying pan:
- 10-15 minutes before cooking, take the purchased or pre-prepared pancakes out of the freezer and place them on a regular plate.
- Choose a frying pan of a suitable size and place it on the stove (over high heat), add 1-2 tablespoons of sunflower oil to it (you can replace it with the same amount of butter or ghee to make the pancakes more tasty and tender).
- Place the pancakes on a preheated frying pan (in one loose layer), reduce the heat (to medium) and fry them for 5-7 minutes until golden brown (watch the process), then turn each pancake over to the opposite side and repeat the procedure. There is no need to cover the pan with a lid during frying.
- To make the pancakes more tender at the end of cooking, add 2-3 tablespoons of boiled water to the pan, cover the pan with a lid and let the pancakes simmer for 2-3 minutes over low heat.
- Place the finished pancakes on a plate and serve with sour cream, honey or jam (depending on the type of filling).
How to defrost and reheat frozen pancakes in the microwave
An equally quick way to cook frozen pancakes is to cook them in the microwave. The cooking sequence is as follows:
- Transfer the frozen pancakes to a plate (in 1 layer). It is better not to cook many pancakes in the microwave at one time.
- Place the plate with pancakes in the microwave and turn it on in the “Defrost” mode for 3 minutes.
- After defrosting, we begin cooking. Grease the pancakes with butter, cover the plate with a special lid (for microwave ovens) or cover with cling film and place in the microwave, setting the cooking time to 3 minutes on normal mode.
- After the beep, carefully remove the finished pancakes from the microwave and serve.
Fry it and have a crispy crust? Please
We are talking about the kind of pancakes that are sold in the frozen section: with meat, with cottage cheese and all sorts of sweet ones. So let's prepare them. In my case - with meat.
Even though I enjoy cooking, some dishes are taboo. It’s simply impossible to imagine how much you have to do to finally prepare cabbage rolls or filled pancakes!! Yes, I’d rather eat tails, ears and nickels, instead of meat inside a pancake, than start cooking it myself. Sorry for such a tasteless introduction, everything else is delicious.
