Delicious Russian Pancakes with Creamy Topping

In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sugar, and salt. Whisk them together until smooth.

Next, add the kefir and mix well. It’s best if the kefir is slightly warmed, but not hot.

Gradually sift in the flour combined with baking soda, mixing continuously with a whisk until a thick and sticky batter forms.

Cover the bowl with a towel and let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom.

Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat and drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, covering the pan with a lid. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

If desired, you can use a piping bag to scoop the batter for a neat presentation, flipping the pancakes with a skewer to ensure they rise well.

In a bowl, whisk together half of the milk with the sugar, egg, and flour until there are no lumps.

In a saucepan, bring the other half of the milk to a boil.

Gradually pour the egg mixture into the boiling milk while stirring continuously. Reduce the heat to low and cook until thickened.

Remove from heat, stir in the butter, and let cool either at room temperature or in a bowl of cold water.

Once the pancakes are golden and fluffy, serve them with your favorite toppings. A delicious option is the creamy mixture you prepared.

Feel free to add fruits or even a touch of food coloring to make them special!
