Oladyshki are a cozy and homey dish of Russian cuisine that is associated with warmth and family breakfasts since childhood. Their delicate texture and slight sourness from kefir make them especially airy. During cooking, the batter fills with bubbles and turns into golden, soft pancakes with a crispy crust in the pan. The secret to successful oladyshki is quick frying in hot oil, which seals in their moisture and softness. They are eaten hot, drizzled with jam, honey, or sour cream. Historically, oladyshki were made for holidays or simply for cozy family tea gatherings as they are easy to prepare and create an atmosphere of warm home comfort.
