Yeasted pancakes with kefir and boiling water
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Serve the pancakes immediately while they're still hot, or keep them covered in a warm place. Do not reheat them in the microwave, as pancakes will become dry and rubbery. The pancakes turn out quite sweet, so you can fill them with cottage cheese, fruits, or serve with sweet sauces, jams, or sour cream. Serve cooled down or slightly warm.
