Pancakes on kefir are perhaps the best that a good mother can offer for breakfast to her sleepy child on weekdays. Such a dish will not only provide a supply of energy, but also give a great mood, which, you see, is important. And there, you see, good grades at school will not take long! Yes, and for mom, pancakes on kefir are a real find: they are prepared simply and quite quickly (the “rest” time of the dough can be reduced if you use not cold, but warm kefir). By the way, if you want, reduce the amount of sugar in the dough to a symbolic teaspoon: then pancakes can be served not only with sweet fillers, but also, for example, with melted cheese or liver pate.

How to cook Fritters on kefir

Step 1

Prepare the dough for pancakes on kefir. To do this, remove all the ingredients from the refrigerator and leave on the table. They must have the same temperature. In a large bowl, beat the egg with sugar until fluffy. Without stopping whisking, pour in the yogurt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix flour with baking soda and salt. Pour the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl with the pancake dough with a towel and leave in a warm place for 20-30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat a cast-iron skillet to high heat, lightly grease with oil, spread the dough with a tablespoon without stirring it. Bake pancakes over medium heat. Put the finished pancakes in a bowl or pan under the lid. Serve hot.

Fritters on kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute kefir with another ingredient if I don't have it?

Yes, you can use buttermilk or plain yogurt thinned with a little milk as a substitute for kefir. The texture and tanginess will be similar.

How can I make these fritters gluten-free?

Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 ratio). Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour for better texture.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

Yes, you can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours. Stir gently before using, as it may thicken. Let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking.

What’s the best way to store leftover fritters?

Store cooled fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispiness.

Can I freeze these fritters for later?

Absolutely! Freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes until warm and crispy.

What toppings or dips pair well with these fritters?

Try sour cream, applesauce, honey, or berry compote. For savory options, pair with herbed yogurt or smoked salmon.

How can I make these fritters lower in sugar?

Reduce the sugar by half or use a natural sweetener like maple syrup or mashed banana. Adjust consistency with a bit more flour if needed.

Why is my batter too thick or thin? How can I fix it?

If too thick, add a splash of kefir or milk. If too thin, sprinkle in 1-2 tbsp flour. Aim for a pourable but not runny consistency.

Can I bake these fritters instead of frying?

Yes! Drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden.
