Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Wet Ingredients

Start by gently warming the kefir until it is warm but not boiling. You can easily do this in a microwave. Once warmed, add the eggs and sugar to the kefir.

Using a whisk, vigorously beat the mixture together until it is well combined.

Step 2

Combine Dry Ingredients

Next, add the baking soda to the wet mixture. It will help the pancakes rise and become fluffy.

Sift in the flour gradually, mixing continuously to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth batter.

Step 3

Add the Milk and Oil

Heat the milk until it is hot but not boiling. Carefully incorporate the warm milk into the batter, stirring until well combined.

Finally, add the vegetable oil and mix until the batter is completely smooth. Your pancake batter is now ready to use!

Step 4

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil.

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the heated pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake to cook the other side until golden brown.

Continue this process until all the batter is used up. Serve the pancakes warm and enjoy!

Servings

Serve your beautiful pancakes hot off the skillet! 🥞✨ For a delightful twist, try topping them with a variety of options: drizzle with honey or maple syrup for a classic treat, sprinkle some fresh berries for a fruity pop, or spread nutella for a rich indulgence. Pairing with a dollop of whipped cream adds an extra level of fluffiness that'll make each bite heavenly! Don't forget a cup of your favorite coffee or tea on the side—because what's better than pancakes and a warm drink? 🍓☕

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: You can easily make these pancakes gluten-free by substituting regular flour with a blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour. Just make sure the blend includes xantham gum for proper texture! 🌾✨
Vegan Variation: For a vegan twist, replace the eggs with a flaxseed meal mixed with water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water for each egg), and use almond or soy milk instead of milk. You won’t miss the eggs at all—these pancakes will be fluffy and satisfying! 🌱🥞

Faq

  • Why is my pancake batter lumpy?

    Don’t worry about a few lumps! It's better to not overmix the batter; small lumps will cook out in the frying process, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

  • How can I keep my pancakes warm before serving?

    Place the cooked pancakes in a single layer on an oven-safe plate and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (about 90°C). This prevents them from steaming and getting soggy.

  • My pancakes are burning on the outside but remain raw inside. What should I do?

    This often means your skillet is too hot. Try lowering the heat and cooking them a bit longer on each side for even cooking!

  • Can I prepare the pancake batter in advance?

    Yes! You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for a few hours. Just give it a good mix before cooking.

  • What can I do with leftover pancakes?

    Leftover pancakes make a fantastic breakfast option. Simply reheat them in the toaster or microwave, and they’re good to go! You can also freeze them and reheat for a quick meal.

  • Can I add ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts to the batter?

    Absolutely! Adding extras like chocolate chips, walnuts, or even spices can enhance the flavor. Just fold them into the batter gently before cooking.
