It is believed that pancakes got their name in honor of Lada, the Slavic goddess of spring. Fluffy, ruddy and perfectly round pancakes symbolized a small spring sun that helped people gain energy and strength to prepare for seasonal work. Now there are many varieties of these ruddy "suns", but pancakes on kefir are a classic that you can easily cope with using our step-by-step recipe.

Pancakes with 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, plain yogurt thinned with milk, or even a mix of milk and a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar as a substitute for kefir.

How long do these pancakes stay fresh, and how should I store them?

Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave before serving.

Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend and ensure your baking powder is gluten-free for the same fluffy texture.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover pancakes?

For crispiness, reheat in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Or microwave for 20-30 seconds for a quick option.

Can I freeze these pancakes for later?

Yes! Place cooled pancakes in a single layer on a tray to freeze, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven straight from frozen.

What are some creative topping ideas besides sour cream?

Try fresh berries, honey, maple syrup, nut butter, jam, or even savory options like smoked salmon or avocado for a twist.

How can I make these pancakes lower in sugar?

Reduce or omit the sugar in the batter, and opt for sugar-free toppings like unsweetened applesauce or fresh fruit.

My pancakes are turning out too thick. How can I adjust the batter?

Add a splash of milk or water to thin the batter slightly for lighter, flatter pancakes.

Can I use this recipe to make larger or smaller pancakes?

Yes! Adjust the portion size with a measuring cup or spoon. Larger pancakes may need longer cooking time—flip when bubbles form.
