Bliny – pancakes with kefir

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 500 ml kefir
• 3 eggs
• 300 g wheat flour
• 20 g butter
• Sugar, to taste
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 packet of baking powder
• Oil for frying
• 1 jar water, boiling

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Heat the kefir to about 50 degrees Celsius, melt the butter in it, stirring frequently. In the meantime, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar until white and foamy. Stir the egg foam into the warm kefir. Then add the flour, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps. The batter will now be very thick. Dissolve the baking powder in a glass of boiling water and add it to the batter. The batter should now have the consistency of pancake batter. Let stand for 30-40 minutes. After that, the pancakes are ready to cook. I like to cook them in a non-stick pan, adding a little oil and then spreading the oil around the pan with kitchen paper. We like them best when they’re thin – with this recipe, they cook very thinly and still turn out fluffy.
