Fluffy kefir pancakes are a classic dish of Russian cuisine that brings warmth and comfort to family breakfasts. Their history dates back centuries when simple and accessible ingredients transformed into surprisingly delicious treats. Kefir interacts with baking soda to create an airy and tender texture in the pancakes, while a slight tang adds a special flavor. They are golden brown, soft inside with a light crispy crust. They can be served with jam, sour cream or honey, as well as a side for hot drinks. The versatility of pancakes makes them perfect for breakfast, snacks or even festive tables. Their simplicity in preparation allows you to quickly delight your loved ones with something homemade, warm and tasty.
1
Mix kefir with salt and sugar, add flour and baking soda. About 200 g, but it varies depending on the thickness of the kefir and the quality of the flour.
- Kefir 2.5%: 400 ml
- Sugar: 3 tablespoons
- Salt: to taste
- Wheat flour: 200 g
- Soda: 1 teaspoon
2
Quickly mix the dough to avoid lumps. I don't use a mixer for this purpose; I use a whisk or fork instead. The dough turns out like very thick sour cream.
3
The pan should have a thick bottom. Heat the pan, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the batter, mix quickly, and place small pancakes in the greased hot pan.
- Vegetable oil: 2 tablespoons

Do not spread the pancakes. Fry on low heat under a lid.
