Pumpkin pancakes with kefir are a delicate, airy treat that embodies coziness and home warmth. This recipe originates from Russian cuisine, where pumpkin has been used in baking for its natural sweetness and rich flavor. Kefir gives the dough softness and lightness, while pumpkin puree adds a velvety texture and subtle autumn aroma. The pancakes turn golden with an appetizing crust, and their taste is delicately sweet with a slight tang from the kefir. They are served with jam or sour cream, further highlighting the harmony of flavors. Perfect for breakfast or a cozy tea time on a cool day.
