Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, salt, and sugar.
Whisk together until well blended, creating a smooth mixture.
Step 2
Next, add half of the kefir and flour to the egg mixture.
Mix vigorously until the batter is nice and homogeneous.
Step 3
Add the remaining kefir and flour, stirring again until combined.
At this point, the batter will be quite thick.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Gradually pour this mixture into the batter in two to three increments, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5
Finally, fold in the vegetable oil into the batter.
Feel free to adjust the amount of boiling water to achieve the desired batter consistency, like that of 10% cream.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil if necessary.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the pan, swirling it around until it forms a thin layer.
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Step 7
Stack your delicious crepes on a plate and serve with your favorite fillings, such as cream and chocolate sauce for a delightful treat.

Servings
When it comes to serving these delightful pancakes, the options are endless!

For a fun brunch with friends, create a pancake bar with various toppings—think sliced bananas, chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar. The combination possibilities are only limited by your imagination! Whatever you choose, these pancakes are sure to steal the show and make every bite a memorable one. 🍽️❤️
Equipment
To achieve that golden brown color without sticking, a good quality non-stick frying pan is essential. Ensure it’s preheated properly for even cooking.
A whisk will help you blend the ingredients smoothly, preventing any lumps in your batter. A simple hand whisk will do, but an electric mixer speeds things up!



For accuracy in your measurements, it’s important to have reliable measuring tools on hand. This ensures your ingredients balance perfectly for the best pancakes.
A flexible spatula will make flipping your pancakes easy. Look for one that’s wide enough to handle the pancakes without tearing them apart.



Variations
Looking for a twist? These pancakes can easily be adapted to fit gluten-free and vegan diets! For a gluten-free version, simply substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend. Be sure to check the blend for xanthan gum as it helps to achieve the desired texture! 🥞✨
For the vegan option, swap out the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water per egg), and use a plant-based milk instead of kefir. With these swaps, you won’t miss out on the fluffy goodness! 🌱🥄
Faq
- Can I use plain yogurt instead of kefir?
Yes, plain yogurt can be used as a substitute for kefir, but it will alter the tangy flavor slightly. You might want to thin it down with a bit of water or milk.
- How do I know when my pancakes are ready to flip?
Look for bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake and a golden-brown edge. This is usually a good indicator that they're ready to be flipped!
- Can I store the leftover batter?
Yes! You can store pancake batter in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before using it again, as it may thicken while chilling.
- What’s the best way to keep pancakes warm?
To keep your pancakes warm while cooking the rest, place them on a baking sheet in an oven set to low heat (around 200°F or 93°C).
- Is it possible to make the pancakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the pancakes ahead of time and store them in the fridge for a quick breakfast. Just reheat them in a toaster or microwave.
- How can I make pancakes more fluffy?
Incorporating whipped egg whites into the batter can add airiness to the pancakes, making them even fluffier! Just fold them gently for the best results.
