Simple pancakes with kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute kefir with another dairy product?

Yes, you can use buttermilk, yogurt, or sour cream thinned with a little milk as a substitute for kefir. The texture and flavor may vary slightly.

How can I make these pancakes gluten-free?

Replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the baking powder is also gluten-free for best results.

Can I prepare the batter ahead of time?

It's best to cook the pancakes immediately after mixing the batter, as the baking powder activates right away. For storage, keep cooked pancakes in the fridge for up to 2 days.

What’s the best way to reheat these pancakes?

Reheat in a toaster, oven, or skillet over low heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Can I freeze these pancakes for later use?

Yes, let them cool completely, layer with parchment paper, and freeze in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen.

How can I make these pancakes vegan?

Use a plant-based kefir or yogurt substitute and replace the sugar with a vegan-friendly option. A flax egg can help bind the batter if needed.

What are some tasty toppings for these pancakes?

Try fresh berries, maple syrup, honey, nut butter, or a dollop of whipped cream for added flavor and texture.

Can I make mini pancakes with this batter?

Absolutely! Use a tablespoon to pour smaller amounts of batter onto the skillet for bite-sized pancakes. Adjust cooking time slightly.

Why are my pancakes turning out dense?

Overmixing the batter can develop gluten, making them dense. Stir just until ingredients are combined, and ensure your baking powder is fresh.
