The best food to cook during snowy days - Yakut pancakes or Alaaji!
This dish is also used in our rituals - we always leave some pancakes for spirits.
Ingredients:
1 cup of milk
1,5 cup of water
2,5 cups of flour
1 egg
1 tbsp of sugar
1 tsp of salt
Mix milk, water, egg, salt and sugar. Little by little add wheat flour and stir well. Heat up vegetable oil in a pan and fry pancakes.
If you want to do it 100% Yakut way, leave first 3, 5, 7 or any other odd number of pancakes on a separate plate. Then after you finish frying, leave the pancakes on the ground near your house to please spirits.
Enjoy pancakes with heavy cream and any jam.
Voila!

Maria has a beautiful, unspoiled soul. This is a rare thing these days. Most people are either malicious or callous as a result of external malice. Thanks for sharing your open soul with the Internet and making it a tiny bit better

@madmattdigs9518 2 года назад

Most people? I feel sorry for you if most people in your life are malicious or callous. Most people I know of are good honest people. And only a few people are malicious. And I’m sure this is the same worldwide. Just reading the comments on these videos, you can see that. I think your views are cynical.

I love how every culture has a pancake of sorts. I'm going to try these. They seem to remind me of a yorkshire pudding. But yorkshire puddings are cooked in the oven and use more egg and we don't add sugar. Here in Scotland our pancakes are a bit different, they have a raising agent and we cook in less oil. But I am going to try these , they look really good and I look forward to sharing with my family. Hello from North Scotland!

Aye I was going to compare it to a Yorkshire pudding. My gran told me as a child they make extra when they had a roast and her favourite pudding at the time was a Yorkshire pudding with butter and jam. Amazing to see essentially the same dish here prepared a little differently. Must try cooking this for my family some time soon what a treat.

I love how share your Yakutia with us …. I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a very cold winter here. Many days it was only 7 or 8 degrees Fahrenheit. I think it even went below zero a couple of times. … Then one evening I opened RU-vid and saw “How We Heat our House in Rural Siberia -44 degrees”. … I have been watching with awe and respect. You do such a wonderful job. You are truly a blessing to your ancestors. Thank for you sharing your beautiful culture !

Excellent- they're like pliable buñuelos. Great timing, too, after our Dia de los Muertos where we give food to our ancestors and other helpful local spirits. The old ways are important to preserve.

@destinasevval 2 года назад

This is similar to "Pişi" which is a dish in Turkey. We also use "yeast" inside the dough. I dont know if there is any rituals or something in our culture. But yours is so unique and catchy 😌

@thelight2843 2 года назад

I think it is more like Fışfış we made in Turkey. It is also very smilar to Lokma Tatlısı. Pişi (pishi) is with less oil and has more baking soda and pops up more I think still kinda smilar. But this is nearly same with Fışfış (Fishfish) except fışfış is soaked into lemon water sugar mix for a few hours before eaten.

I love the ritual of leaving the offering outside for the animals! When I go to barbados this is what we do with leftovers, it always warms my soul to see the birds eating my food. I will try it the other way around one day now too :) thank you for sharing

@ivandinsmore6217 2 года назад

Yakutia is a truly beautiful country with a truly beautiful culture. I love how you left some pancakes for the animals. I know you said it was for the spirits but the animal who eats the pancakes and delivers it to the spirit also benefits from the food which is very important in a cold climate.

Yakutia isn't a country, bro, it is a Republic of Russia

@ivandinsmore6217 2 года назад

@@joshmcgregor4839 It seems to me that Yakutia's constitutional position is similar to that of Scotland. Would you say Scotland is not a country too?

@joshmcgregor4839 2 года назад

@@ivandinsmore6217 Scotland isn't a Republic of the UK, Yakutia is governed by Russia, all decisions go back to moscow as it is a centralised government. Decisions such as funding and other things go back to Moscow. They have very limited power. Even Kazan doesn't even have proper autonomy anymore and that was given special status a while back, Moscow slowly reduced it step by step. Each region of Russia can decide one or two things with regards to education and maybe a law here and there but I wouldn't say different parts of Russia are their own country.

@ivandinsmore6217 2 года назад

@@joshmcgregor4839 Even when Scotland was directly ruled from London and could decide nothing for themselves, it was still considered a country. Perhaps Yakutia doesn't think of themselves as a country. Maybe that's the difference.

@joshmcgregor4839 2 года назад

@@ivandinsmore6217 completely wrong, Scotland gets to decide on funding, school systems own laws (much more freedom than any of the Russian Republics get to decide) even given referendums if they would like to leave the UK. Which they voted against. (I could never see Putin allowing such a thing) in fact Russia literally stopped/bullied it from leaving in the 90s when nationalism and exiting Russia was sky high. (makes sense due to the HUGE amount of resources and not to mention the biggest diamond mine in the world). If you think Scotland is remotely like yakutia, you're delusional.

I totally get how this is comfort food during the winter. My mom does her own version but with apples. Whenever we have too many apples that are about to go bad she'd cut them up, toss them into a batter and make little fritters. She sprinkles some brown sugar on top but i prefer it with a bit of peanut butter. p.s. Love the big bowl you're using. Reminds me of traditional chinese plates designs but with a unique regional twist.

I love the idea of feeding the birds so they will carry the food to the spirits. It shows a respect and a reverence for Nature. In the UK we are fond of scones, a light pastry baked into tall-sided cakes, which we dress with clotted cream and strawberry jam just like you do with alaaji! There is always a light-hearted argument about whether we should apply the jam first or the cream. I'm firmly a cream first guy but my brother is contrary.
