Preparation
Step 1
I use kefir with 3% fat, but any type will work. To make the pancakes fluffy, all ingredients should be at room temperature. You can slightly warm the kefir in the microwave.
Step 2
For the batter, take a large, comfortable bowl. Crack in the egg, add sugar and salt. Adjust the sugar amount to your taste. Whisk the mixture slightly until smooth.
Step 3
Then stir in the prepared kefir.
Step 4
Sift flour with baking soda to aerate it. Gradually add the flour into the bowl while mixing. Adjust the flour quantity to reach the right consistency - you might need a little more or less.
Step 5
The finished batter should be quite thick and slowly drip from the whisk.
Step 6
Pour some vegetable oil into a hot skillet. Spoon the batter onto it (it should be thick and hold its shape). Cook the pancakes over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. (≈ 350°F / 175°C). The exact temperature may vary depending on your pan and stove.
Step 7
Cooking them slowly helps them rise well and cook through inside. When golden brown, transfer to a paper towel for 30 seconds to absorb excess oil, then remove to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Your fluffy kefir pancakes are ready! Serve them warm with jam, condensed milk, or sour cream. Enjoy!
