Russian pancakes on kefir
2 servings
60 minutes
Russian pancakes with kefir are airy, tender flatbreads with a golden crust that delight with their soft taste and lightness. This recipe has roots in Russian cuisine, where kefir is traditionally used to give the dough special fluffiness. The pancakes have a subtle vanilla aroma and light sweetness, and thanks to the kefir – a pleasant tanginess. They are cooked without oil in a pan, making them less fatty and healthier. An ideal option for breakfast or a cozy family tea time. They are served with jam, sour cream, honey or fresh berries, creating a harmony of taste and texture.

The cooking process... is similar to making grandma's pancakes. No need to grease the pan with oil. Pancakes are cooked on a dry pan. If the cookware is too old and there's a risk of burning, you can put a piece of fat on the surface, sprinkle some water, or add a drop of vegetable oil. Using a ladle, we pour the batter in portions onto the pan. Voila!!!
- Vegetable oil: 1 tablespoon
