Karaevtsy
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Ryazan grandmothers once fried pancakes so masterfully that they could do it on 3–4 pans and only on one side. The pancakes were so thin that there was no need to fry them on both sides. Can you imagine? But nowadays almost no one repeats this. And now I'll tell you in detail, serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.

Step 10
If you just can’t get the holes and lattice pattern, I’ll tell you a simple secret. Before the next pancake, grease the pan with vegetable oil right on the stove and let the oil heat up for 5–7 seconds. Then pour the batter from a ladle. The hot droplets of oil and the cool batter immediately create a beautiful pattern and holes.
