As a result, pancakes are very thin (of course, if you do not pour two ladles into the pan at once), tender, with numerous holes on the surface. And in the process of final heating in a warm oven, they are saturated with oil and acquire a light sugar crust. Such pancakes on kefir with holes are perfect for Shrovetide, and for any other day when you want something special.
