Instructions

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for making fluffy kefir pancakes.

Step 2
Warm the kefir in advance. You can do it on the stove or in the microwave (my way). The main thing is that the kefir becomes nicely warm but does not curdle. Use kefir of any fat content; I like 3.2%.

Step 5
Then gradually add the flour. It’s best to sift the flour beforehand so the pancakes turn out even fluffier. Go by the right batter consistency rather than the exact amount of flour. The batter should be like thick sour cream in consistency, slowly dripping off the spoon.

Step 8
Mix everything once more. Let the finished dough rest for a little while—literally a few minutes—so it can take in oxygen and become lighter and airier.

Step 9
Pour vegetable oil into the skillet and heat it. For the pancakes, you need just enough oil to completely cover the bottom. Scoop one full tablespoon of batter and use a second tablespoon to help the batter slide into the oil. This way, place as many pancakes as will fit in the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the underside forms a golden crust and noticeable bubbles appear around the sides. Do not fry the pancakes over high heat, or the bottom will burn while the center stays undercooked. Then flip carefully and cook until the second side is golden brown.
