Pancakes with brains
Description
It is obvious that brains in our country are not much loved (in culinary terms, though not only in culinary terms)—many consider this offal unworthy of cooking. Unjustly so: brains have a very pleasant and unusual texture and, on the whole, turn out quite tasty. From personal experience I can say that brains pair perfectly with the most ordinary pancakes. Well then, I’ll tell you how to cook delicious pancakes with brains and surprise your diners. Good luck

Step 3
We treat the brains as follows: cover them with water to which a little vinegar has been added and leave to soak for one and a half hours. Then drain this water, clean the brains of membranes and blood, then pour boiling water over the brains and leave until completely cooled.
