Starch pancakes are airy, light, and incredibly tender pancakes that melt in your mouth. Their secret lies in the combination of flour and starch that creates a silky texture. This recipe has its roots in traditional Russian cuisine, where pancakes symbolize hospitality and celebration. Thanks to kefir, they acquire a pleasant tanginess, while sugar adds a soft sweetness. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast or a cozy tea time. They can be served with jam, sour cream, or condensed milk, or filled with anything from cottage cheese to red caviar. Their versatility, lightness, and unforgettable taste make them a favorite dish in every family.
