Custard pancakes on kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

While kefir adds a unique tang and lightness, you can substitute it with milk. The pancakes might be slightly less fluffy and have a different flavor, but they'll still be delicious. Consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to the milk to mimic the acidity of kefir.
If you don't have starch, you can replace it with an equal amount of flour. The texture might be slightly different, potentially a bit less tender.
Leftover custard pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat them gently in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Yes, you can freeze custard pancakes! Let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper between each pancake to prevent sticking. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat them in a skillet, microwave, or toaster oven.
Yes, you can! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add a small amount separately as it helps with binding and texture.
Custard pancakes are delicious with a variety of toppings! Try them with fresh berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, chocolate sauce, yogurt, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Yes, you can reduce the sugar to your liking. Start by reducing it by a tablespoon and adjust to taste. Keep in mind that sugar contributes to browning, so reducing it significantly might affect the color of the pancakes.
The combination of boiling water and baking soda creates a reaction that adds extra lightness and airiness to the pancakes. It helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy, giving them their characteristic custard-like texture.
Yes, you can easily double or triple the recipe. Just make sure to scale all the ingredients proportionally. Use a large enough bowl to accommodate the increased volume of dough and a large skillet for cooking.
