Fluffy Kefir Pancakes

Tall, pillowy, and golden — these fluffy kefir pancakes are the breakfast of your dreams. The tangy kefir makes them incredibly tender, and they rise up beautifully in the pan. If you love breakfast pancakes, try our Fluffy Banana Kefir Pancakes or these Tender Cottage Cheese Pancakes too.

Drop the batter by tablespoons into a well-heated skillet for perfectly round, evenly golden pancakes. For more pancake inspiration, browse Allrecipes, or make a batch of our Fluffy Cottage Cheese Pancakes next time.

Ingredients

• 400 ml (1 2/3 cups) kefir
• 2 eggs
• 2-3 tbsp sugar, to taste
• Pinch of salt
• 320 g (2 2/3 cups) flour
• 1 packet (2 tsp) baking powder
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the kefir and vegetable oil.
3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth with no lumps. Heat a skillet well and drop the batter by tablespoons to form pancakes.
4. Flip when bubbles appear on the surface and cook for about 1 more minute. Add berries or chocolate chips to the batter if you like.

Tips

• Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking — it helps the pancakes rise higher.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches so each pancake has room to puff up.
• Keep the heat at medium — too hot and the outsides brown before the centers cook through.
