Health benefits of Russian Quick Buttermilk Oladyi (Buttermilk Pancakes)

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

2 large eggs, separated, at room temperature
1 1/2 cup (360 ml) buttermilk
Vegetable oil
1 cup (128 grams) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons (30 grams) granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda
Salmon roe, for serving
Caviar, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Jam, for serving

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix the egg yolks, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon oil until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the buttermilk mixture and mix until combined.
Using a mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add about 1/3 of the egg whites into the pancake batter and stir to lighten it. Fold the rest of the egg whites into the pancake batter until combined.
Warm oil on a nonstick large pan or a griddle over medium heat. Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter to form a circular pancake (you should be able to form 4 or 5 on the pan and more on the griddle). Cook each pancake about 3 minutes per side. Gently flip over using an offset spatula (much easier than a regular pancake spatula). Serve with salmon roe and caviar, or for sweet pancake meal, sour cream and jam.
