Pumpkin-vanilla pancakes emoticons #shrovetide 2023

Pumpkin puree can be made ahead of time.

To do this, peel the pumpkin, cut into pieces, wrap in foil and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Grind the baked pumpkin into puree and store in a container (even in the freezer).

Shake one egg, add kefir, salt, sugar, soda to it, mix.

Add pumpkin puree to the resulting mass, stir until smooth.

Add sifted flour with vanilla, mix.

Let the dough stand for 20-25 minutes.

Rinse raisins in advance (if dry, pour boiling water for a few minutes), cut strips for the mouth from kumquat.

Preheat the pan, heat the oil, put the pancakes in the pan, while one side is fried, lay out the eyes from the raisins, from the kumquat-mouth emoticons-“faces”.

Flip the fritters over and fry them on the other side.

It turned out very funny emoticon pancakes with a pumpkin-vanilla flavor.

Overeating! Help yourself!

Bon appetit! With Shrovetide!
