The chef talked about the method of cooking leopard pancakes.

On social networks, you can see many ways to make leopard pancakes with characteristic spots, but the easiest and most convenient way is to apply a characteristic pattern during baking using a thin silicone brush. Anton Lutsenko, the chef of the Moscow Chudo-Yudo restaurant, told Izvestia's Food Without Borders gastronomic project on February 20.

"To paint the spots, you will need a mixture of cocoa powder and boiled water. It is enough to combine one teaspoon of each ingredient in a small bowl and stir until a thick brown paste. You can also use food coloring agents of suitable colors," the expert explained.

Cocoa mass stains should be applied to pancakes at the beginning of frying each one. When the underside is browned, turn the pancake over and bring it to readiness. It is better to serve them with boiled condensed milk, maple syrup and fresh berries, the chef recommended.

On February 19, Maryam Davlekamova, head of the Competence Center for Functional Nutrition at Roskachestvo, said that the key to healthier pancakes lies in replacing the basic components. Instead of the usual premium wheat flour, which contains mostly fast carbohydrates and is devoid of healthy fiber, she recommends paying attention to functional analogues.
