Kefir can be used as a base for pancake batter.

For half a liter of this fermented milk product you will need one and a half glasses of flour and three eggs.

You will also need to add a little vegetable oil, granulated sugar (one tablespoon), table salt and baking soda (half a teaspoon each) to the dough.

Kefir used in making pancakes should be warm or even hot. Therefore, the drink should be taken out of the refrigerator or heated up in advance.

After mixing all the ingredients, you will get a mass from which you will get gorgeous pancakes. The dish will be incredibly tasty, tender and airy.
