Quick kefir pancakes are a traditional Russian treat perfect for a cozy breakfast or a quick snack with tea. Their roots lie in home cooking, where simplicity and ingredient availability were key. The pancakes are tender, airy, and have a slight tang thanks to the kefir. Sugar adds sweetness while baking soda helps the batter rise. They pair well with jam, sour cream, or honey, and their fresh aroma makes them a true delight. This dish doesn't take much time but offers warmth and comfort like at grandma's house. Ideal for those wanting to enjoy something tasty and homemade without extra hassle.
