Preparation
Step 1
Sift the flour in advance to aerate it. Choose any cheese you like, as long as it grates well and melts easily. Use kefir that is not ultra-fresh - it reacts better with baking soda, giving fluffier pancakes. For full details, see the article below.
Step 2
Use a deep bowl for the batter. Grate the cheese into the bowl and add chopped herbs. Any herbs will work; fresh dill is recommended.
Step 3
Crack an egg into the bowl and add a little salt and spices to taste. Mix everything together.
Step 4
Pour in the kefir and add sugar. Gradually add the sifted flour with baking soda while mixing. Don’t add all the flour at once - it may vary slightly depending on the cheese and kefir. Adjust for batter consistency.
Step 5
The final batter should be fairly thick.
Step 6
Heat a skillet with some vegetable oil. Spoon small amounts of batter onto the skillet. Fry over low heat for 1-2 minutes per side until golden. Keep the heat low so the pancakes cook through.
Step 7
Finished pancakes should be a beautiful golden color.
Step 8
Remove from the skillet and place on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve with savory sauces like cheese sauce or spicy berry sauce. Enjoy!
