Homemade pancakes with kefir

6 servings

60 minutes

Kefir pancakes are one of the coziest and warmest dishes in Russian cuisine. Their history dates back to ancient times when pancakes were a symbol of the sun and the Maslenitsa celebration. Kefir makes the batter tender and airy, while butter spread on hot pancakes gives them a special softness and rich flavor. The slight tang of kefir harmonizes well with sweet or savory toppings: they can be served with honey, jam, sour cream, or even meat filling. These pancakes are perfect for a family breakfast or a cozy tea time with loved ones, creating an atmosphere of home comfort and warmth.
