Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine 100 grams of whole grain oatmeal and 175 grams of semolina. If using long-cooking oats, consider blending them slightly in a blender to break them down a bit, but do not turn them into flour. If using quick oats, there's no need to blend them.

Step 2

Incorporate the Kefir

Pour 500 milliliters of kefir into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix well and let the mixture sit for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid better.

Step 3

Add Additional Ingredients

After resting, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste), 3 large eggs, and 1/5 teaspoon of baking soda to the mixture. Gradually stir in 200 milliliters of water and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. For added flavor, you can melt some butter and mix in 3 tablespoons into the batter, using the rest for frying.

Step 4

Blend the Batter

Use an immersion blender to thoroughly mix the batter until smooth. Allow the batter to rest for about 15 minutes before cooking. This helps improve the texture and consistency of your pancakes.

Step 5

Cook the Pancakes

Preheat a skillet on medium heat and lightly grease it with oil. Pour the batter into the skillet carefully, using your preferred amount, although it might be thicker than usual pancake batters.

Cook until bubbles form and the edges start to look cooked, then flip to cook the other side for a few more minutes.

Step 6

Serve the Pancakes

Once cooked, feel free to brush the warm pancakes with melted butter for extra flavor. These savory pancakes can be enjoyed with various fillings, sweet or savory, as you prefer!

Variations

Gluten-Free and Vegan Variations:

If you're looking to make this pancake recipe gluten-free, simply substitute the semolina with gluten-free flour. For an even heartier option, consider using almond or coconut flour. 🥥🌰 Want to make them vegan? Swap out the eggs for flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, let it sit for 5 minutes) and use plant-based milk or yogurt instead of kefir. 🌱 These variations will ensure everyone can enjoy the yummy goodness of these pancakes!
