Cooking Features
Experienced housewives make pancakes on kefir often. To feed the family with this tasty and hearty breakfast, a quick-cook will need 20-30 minutes. Knowing some of the moments allows you to make pancakes not only quickly, but also tasty. Magnificent products with bubbles inside are especially appreciated, and such without knowledge of certain subtleties is very difficult to make.
- Kefir is suitable for making pancakes any, but experienced cooks prefer to take yesterday or even the day before yesterday: it is more sour, baking powder reacts better with it. As a result, the pancakes are more lush.
- Flour for making pancakes on kefir is better to use wheat, but it can be mixed with any other, including rye, corn, buckwheat and even rice.
- The classic recipe for kefir pancakes includes eggs, soda, sugar and salt. You can do without all of these ingredients, but some require adequate replacement. For example, instead of soda, you can take baking powder or yeast. Excluding eggs, you can add starch to the composition, but this is not necessary. The amount of sugar and salt can be reduced without fear that the pancakes will not come out. On the contrary, the more sugar you put in the dough, the higher the risk that the pancakes will start to burn, not having time to bake.
- It is recommended to sift the flour before adding to the dough, then the pancakes will be more tender and fluffy.
- Flour the dough in portions until it reaches the desired consistency. This is due to the fact that both flour and kefir can be of different quality. The optimum consistency is reminiscent of 20% fat sour cream, but if you want to make very thick pancakes, the dough doesn’t hurt to make it a little thicker.
- Soda is added last, after which you can put only pieces of fruit, berries, and similar additives. If you immerse the soda in kefir immediately, the neutralization reaction, which allows you to cook lush and bubble fritters, will end quickly and they will immediately settle after cooking.
- Fry fritters in a hot pan, greased with butter. It is not necessary to pour a lot of oil, but you should constantly monitor the pan to not turn out, as fritters will absorb fat when frying. A cast iron pan is best, but you can also use another one, only with a thick bottom.
- It is time to turn the pancakes when holes appear on the other side. The underside by this time has time to brown.
- To prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon, it is moistened with water. If the dough is very thick, it may take two spoons to put it in the pan.
- If the dough is lowered into the pan from the narrow side, the pancakes will have a round shape. Spreading the dough through the side of the spoon, you will print oval shaped pancakes.
- Fritters on kefir can be prepared without additives, with berries or fruit, raisins. If you do not like sweets, you can bake pancakes with greens, cheese. Additional products are either added to the dough, or spread on pancakes when baking them. In the latter case, pancakes are obtained with pripek.
