Oladi like fluff – world best recipe for Russian oladushki

What are oladi?

Oladi (also oladyi or oladiki) are Russian pancakes made with kefir. They are affectionately called oladushki. They are pronounced in Russian as aladyi, aladi, aladiki and aladushki, respectively.

Oladyi are smaller and much fluffier than blini. They are about the size of syrniki. The small pancakes are sometimes called Russian kefir pancakes.

Oladyi

World’s best oladushki

I have already tried many different oladi recipes and can say that according to this recipe, and if you additionally follow all the tips mentioned below, oladushki succeed best.

The oladyi rise very well when fried and become really fluffy. They taste so light, airy, tender and are actually like fluff – the world’s best oladushki indeed!

Oladi dough

The batter for oladi is much thicker than for regular Russian pancakes. To make your oladyi really fluffy, it is very important that the consistency of the dough is right. It should not be runny, nor should it be solid, but viscous.

If the dough drips slowly and in portions from the spoon, its consistency is correct. Therefore, you should stir in flour gradually.

If the dough flows from the spoon, you need to add more flour. Otherwise, your oladyi might melt and become too thin while frying. If it doesn’t drip off the spoon at all, you’ve put in too much flour. In this case, your oladi might taste dry and firm.

Further down in the tips and tricks section, I’ll tell you what else you need to keep in mind to make the world’s best oladushki.

How to store oladiki (pronounced aladiki)

If you made too many oladyi, store the leftover ones in an airtight container, such as a lunch box, in the refrigerator. They will keep for about 3 days.

If you want to serve them warm, you can warm them up in a pan with the lid on and a splash of water. However, as delicious as oladushki taste, they are guaranteed to be eaten right after frying.

How to make the most delicious oladushki yourself: tips and tricks

  • In order for you to succeed with Russian kefir pancakes and make them like fluff, follow these tips.
  • Kefir must be lukewarm.
  • Egg must be at room temperature. So get it out of the fridge about 1 hour before if you keep eggs in the fridge.
  • Don’t put too much sugar in the batter. Otherwise, your oladyi won’t rise when you fry them. The amount of sugar given in the recipe is perfectly sufficient.
  • Alternatively, you can add vanilla to the batter. It should then be added together with sugar and salt.
  • The amount of flour given in the recipe may vary. You only need enough flour until the dough becomes viscous. It should not be runny and not solid. Therefore, add flour gradually in several portions. If the oladyi dough drips from the spoon very slowly and in portions, its consistency is ideal.
  • Baking soda must be added to the dough just before frying the oladi. After you add baking soda to the batter, stir it briskly and thoroughly only once. Do not stir the batter again while frying the oladushki.
  • Fry oladyi in enough vegetable oil (about 0.5 cm thick layer of vegetable oil in the pan). Keep replenishing it as needed during frying.
  • Heat well the pan with vegetable oil before frying the oladi.
  • Since the batter is viscous, you can pour the batter for each small pancake into the pan with two tablespoons. Fill one of the tablespoons with the batter and use the second tablespoon to push the batter into the pan.
  • By the way, you can make kefir for Russian pancakes yourself.
