It happens that housewives forget to replenish their stocks, and products run out at the most inopportune moment. If you have already prepared the dough for pancakes, got out a frying pan and were about to start frying, but found that you ran out of oil at home, do not rush to throw away what you have started.
Let's remember how our grandmothers used to cook ruddy pancakes. Instead of oil, they added lard or lard.
How to fry pancakes without oil, in lard
Heat a skillet to high heat. Cut off a small piece of lard and wipe the hot surface.
It is convenient to do this by pricking the lard on a fork - this way you will definitely not burn your fingers.
A thin layer of fat formed on the pan is enough to fry one pancake. As soon as you remove the pancake from the pan and prepare to fry the next one, do not forget to grease the pan again with lard.
By the way, if you are preparing cutlets or even draniki, and there is not enough oil, you can try to cook these dishes in the oven. For obvious reasons, this hack won't work with pancakes.
