Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- 1¾ cups kefir whey, buttermilk or milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.
- Create a well in the centre, and add the kefir, eggs, and oil and slowly whisk until smooth and most of the lumps are gone.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the frying pan is hot. Add about 2 tablespoons of batter to make each pancake. You should fit 3-4 pancakes in a large trying pan.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the pancakes and a few of them have burst. The trick is to get as many bubbles bursting as you can without burning the pancakes.
- Carefully flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown. Remove pancakes to a plate or on a tray in a warmed oven. Add more oil and repeat process with the remaining batter.
- Serve with fresh berries, jam and sour cream.
