Lush pancakes with raisins

30 minutes
Fluffy pancakes with raisins are the true embodiment of home comfort, a classic of Russian cuisine that delights with its airy, tender dough and sweet caramelized notes of raisins. Their history traces back to traditional village breakfasts when hostesses quickly prepared them using simple yet heartfelt ingredients. Kefir in the recipe gives the dough a special lightness, while baking soda creates a magical reaction that makes the pancakes rise and become soft and fluffy. The sweetness of the raisins harmoniously complements the delicate flavor of the dough, and the golden crust adds a pleasant texture. These pancakes are great not only for breakfast but also as a dessert with a cup of fragrant tea. An ideal choice for a cozy family evening or a moment of sweet indulgence alone.
