Norwegian pancakes, a traditional dish on all ferries in Fjordland (low-fat version).

Dissolve the baking soda and horn salt in a little kefir in separate containers (e.g., 2 cups) and set aside to rise. Beat the eggs and sugar with a hand mixer on high until frothy, then gradually stir in the remaining kefir and flour and salt. Finally, add the two raising agents and mix the batter until smooth. Let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then, in a non-stick pan, cook 13-15 cm pancakes in batches (makes about 8) over medium heat (!). When the batter bubbles, turn them over and cook until golden brown (do not overcook them; the pancakes should be elastic and not brittle). Brush the pancakes with sweetened butter, fold them in half, and enjoy warm or cold. Tip: If you find something at a well-stocked cheese counter, be sure to fill the sveler with Norwegian caramelized brown cheese like ‘Gudbrandsdalsost’ or ‘Ekte Geitost’ instead of butter. You can store the finished sveler individually in cling film (this is how they are also sold on Norwegian fjord ferries).
