Thin pancakes made with kefir and boiling water

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make pancakes with kefir and boiling water? Prepare your food. Wash the eggs in the shell and dry them with napkins. Take a spacious bowl, beat the eggs into it and combine them with sugar. Mix the egg mixture a little with a whisk.

2. STEP 2

   

   Then add a little vegetable oil, a pinch of salt and kefir. Stir.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour through a sieve, pour into the bowl with the dough and stir with a whisk so that no lumps of flour remain. Add baking soda.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then pour boiling water into the dough and knead the dough. When you add boiling water, the flour in the dough will cook and the dough will become more pliable. Watch the consistency of the dough, do not pour in all the water at once.

5. STEP 5

   

   The finished dough should be liquid enough to spread well in the pan. Focus on this, and not on the amount of liquid or flour.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat the pancake pan until hot. Before the first pancake, grease it a little with oil. Pour a little pancake batter onto it and quickly spread it over the entire surface. Bake the pancakes over medium heat for a minute on each side until golden brown.

7. STEP 7

   

   Remove the finished pancakes to a large plate and cover with a lid to prevent them from drying out. When all the pancakes are ready, flip the entire stack of pancakes over. The bottom pancakes will already be steamed and will be soft and tasty. Serve them with jam, sour cream or condensed milk. Bon appetit!

Today is the second day of Maslenitsa. This Slavic holiday is one of the most fun and delicious. My household ordered pancakes yesterday. I always make pancakes with kefir and water. But Yulia M.’s recipe became a discovery for me. I didn’t know that pancake batter can be steamed with hot water. I decided to try cooking it this way. The dough turned out homogeneous and so plastic or something. Not a single pancake came out lumpy. The pancakes were very easy to remove and did not tear. I’m very glad that I found this recipe, live and learn. Here's my photo report, I'm waiting for my family for dinner.

I like to cook different pancakes. The choux pastry makes pancakes soft, thin, and delicate. Thanks to kefir, the dough turns out airy, and boiling water adds stickiness to the flour. This time I cooked strictly according to Yulia M’s successful recipe, for which I thank the author very much! Pancakes are quick and, most importantly, easy to prepare even for a novice cook. The main thing is to follow all the author’s advice and a delicious dessert will delight your family! What to serve them with depends on the taste preferences of loved ones. Today we had kiwi jelly and fresh strawberries, there was also sour cream, but I didn’t have time to get into the frame...

Thin pancakes made with kefir and boiling water went down very well in my family - thin, airy, just like homemade ones like. I baked them very carefully, they turned out very thin, the dough was probably a bit runny, next time I’ll add more flour, I hope the taste won’t be lost , because this option is delicious! Thank you very much for the recipe!

The recipe is great! The pancakes turn out thin, with a hole in them. Baking and eating are a pleasure! I’ve baked custard pancakes with kefir before, so I want to share my addition: I recommend heating the kefir a little and adding baking soda to the kefir. Otherwise, everything is the same, the proportions and ingredients in this recipe are chosen perfectly.

On the first day of Maslenitsa I decided to make healthy pancakes. Now I’ll explain why: very tasty, juicy and thin. I love cooking, and these pancakes are healthy because they are made with kefir and soda and no yeast! I recommend the recipe and give it a rating of 5
