Pancakes on kefir - general principles of cooking
Many people prefer to cook pancakes on kefir, and not on milk, because such pancakes are obtained as airy, delicate and very tasty.
The dough for pancakes on kefir should not be as liquid as for pancakes on milk. But in order to make the pancakes thin, you can add a small amount of boiled water or even mineral water to kefir. You can cook and custard pancakes on kefir - flour for this should be brewed with boiling water.
In the dough for pancakes on kefir often add soda. Soda reacts with acid contained in kefir - as a result, carbon dioxide is released. Due to this pancakes are especially porous and airy. For 1 liter of kefir you need to take one or two teaspoons of soda. The main thing - do not overdo it, otherwise the pancakes will respond with soda. The amount of soda depends on the desired thickness and structure of pancakes. Pancakes are fried like kefir, usually in vegetable oil.
The technique of making pancakes on kefir differs little from baking pancakes according to other recipes. The finished dough is poured into a ladle or ladle in a frying pan heated with butter and baked on both sides until golden brown. The edges should be moderately dry and well-roasted.
You do not need to pour too much dough - the pancakes should be thin and of equal thickness. In order to evenly distribute the dough on the surface of the pan, when pouring, you need to make rotational movements. The pan is always kept at a slight inclination.
You can flip the pancake with a special spatula or a long knife. In extreme cases, you can use a fork. Experienced cooks turn over pancakes without any additional devices - they simply throw pancake upwards, where it turns over in the air.
Hot kefir pancakes are served with honey, jam, condensed milk, whipped cream or sour cream. Kefir pancakes are perfectly combined with salty and sweet fillings. Cooled pancakes on kefir strongly stick to each other, so the whole stack can be sent to warm up in a microwave. After this, the pancakes will once again fall well apart.

Before you start cooking pancakes on kefir, you need to measure the right amount of flour, sugar, salt and soda. Flour is surely sifted - it helps to saturate the dough with oxygen and make pancakes more lush and airy.

You also need to prepare a clean enamelled dough basin, a whisk, a glass to determine the number of ingredients, a spatula, a ladle or a ladle, and a brush to grease the pan.
