Kefir pancakes without oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make kefir pancakes without oil? Prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Kefir is suitable with a fat content of 2.5% and higher. It should be at room temperature, so take the kefir out of the refrigerator in advance and measure out the required amount. Take large, selected eggs.

2. STEP 2

   

   Divide the eggs into yolks and whites. It is important that when separating, not a drop of yolk gets into the white, otherwise it will not foam. Place the whites in the refrigerator.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add sugar and vanilla sugar to the yolks. Beat with a mixer into a fluffy light foam.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add kefir at room temperature and beat again until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add the sifted flour with baking powder and beat until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Separately, beat the whites with a mixer with a pinch of salt until strong, stable peaks form. When turning the bowl over, the whites should not fall out.

7. STEP 7

   

   Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter using a spatula. The finished dough should be soft and fluffy.

8. STEP 8

   

   Over low heat (I have setting 3 out of 9), heat a non-stick frying pan with a thick bottom. Spoon the dough and form into small round pancakes. You can fry the pancakes covered or without it for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

9. STEP 9

   

   Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and serve. You can serve with honey, jam, sweet sauces, fresh fruits and berries. Bon appetit!

I usually cook pancakes with kefir, frying them in vegetable oil. I'll try it in a dry frying pan.

I found a recipe on the website for kefir pancakes without oil, quick and tasty. These are just the perfect pancakes for my husband who is trying to avoid eating fat. To knead the dough, I took 1% kefir and first warmed it up a little to room temperature. I whipped the whites first, adding some sugar and salt. I added lemon juice to the whites while beating. Mixed with the yolk mixture with a spatula. I tried not to knead too much so that the air bubbles would not collapse. The result was a fluid but airy dough. I fried the pancakes in a dry pancake pan. It’s better not to leave the stove, because the pancakes fry very quickly. I covered it with a lid only after turning it over. The pancakes turned out fluffy, juicy and not soggy. Very similar to biscuits. They are delicious either alone or with various additives. For example, with sour cream and honey.

Thank you very much for the recipe! I always baked pancakes in oil and doubted until the last minute whether it was possible to bake in a dry frying pan, and there wasn’t even a spoonful of oil in the composition... I changed the sequence of actions a little... I added salt and a pinch of citric acid to the whites of two eggs, beat it into a foam and Add half the sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Add the remaining sugar to two yolks and one egg, beat with a mixer until the volume increases, mix in the kefir by hand. Mix the pre-sifted flour with 1/4 teaspoon of soda and mix into the dough with a whisk by hand. In my opinion, this produces a more liquid yolk mass, which then mixes more easily with the whipped whites. I introduced the whites in two passes using a silicone spatula, moving from top to bottom. The result was a very airy dough, the consistency of thick sour cream. I baked it in a cast iron frying pan, the dough is thick, so to get pancakes of the correct round shape, you need to lightly use a spoon to make a circular motion on the surface of the still liquid dough. Initially, I covered it with a lid when bubbles appeared on the surface, remove the lid... you need to carefully pry it off with a silicone spatula to turn it over to the back side. It won’t work with a wooden spatula... because when you turn it over on top, the dough is still liquid. The pancakes enlarge before your eyes, rise, and when finished, the thickness is about a centimeter. They really taste like a sponge cake. And if you wish, you can assemble mini cakes by soaking them in cream. Since the pancakes taste quite sweet, they will be ideally combined with sweet and sour plum or cherry jam. And of course, it will be very tasty to eat them with sour cream. The pancakes turned out very fluffy, airy, and light. Not wet. The children walked around like foxes...the aroma filled the whole house. I will definitely save this recipe for myself! Thank you again!
