Ingredients
- 300 ml kefir (or buttermilk)
- 150 ml water
- 150 g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 5 tbsps. sugar
- ½ tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 3 tbsps. vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a deep bowl, combine eggs with sugar and salt. Give ingredients a nice whisk until sugar with salt fully dissolve and a smooth mixture with eggs.
- Pour half of the kefir. Mix.
- Sieve all the all-purpose flour into the bowl with whisked eggs and mix once again. Try to get rid of all the lumps in the process. Sieving flour is a good way of enriching flour with oxygen and making pancakes tender and airy.
- Pour the other half of kefir and mix. At this stage, I have used a blender to combine the entire ingredients to make the batter smooth.
- Boil water. In a separate cup or bowl, combine water with baking soda. Stir the water until it fully dissolves. It will take you a couple of seconds.
- Pout water with dissolved baking soda to the batter. Mix.
- In the end, add three tablespoons of vegetable oil. Stir well to remove the distinct oily layer on the top.
- Place a non-stick pan over medium to high heat and smear its bottom with oil using a silicone brush. Wait until it gets hot. Pour ¼ of a cup of batter (around 60 ml). Rotate the skillet in the air until the batter covers evenly all the surface. Give each side around 3 minutes to cook. When the side turns slightly brown that is the sign you should flip the pancake.
- Tilt your skillet to place the crepe on the plate. Continue smearing oil over the skillet bottom to prevent pancakes from sticking. Stack them on the plate and let them cool down for a minute.
- Serve with your favorite jam, spread, syrup, or honey! Enjoy!
