Instructions

Crack the eggs and whisk them in a bowl. Add the yogurt, sugar, kefir, and butter and mix well.

Add whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and briefly stir with the liquid ingredients until combined. Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a non-stick frying pan. Add a little oil and pour about a small ladleful of batter (50 to 60 grams) into the pan for each pancake. Cook the pancake over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the edges are set and small bubbles have formed on the surface.

Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the underside is also golden brown. Then remove the pancake from the pan and repeat the process for the remaining batter.

Serve the pancakes immediately or keep them warm in the oven at 40 to 50°C, stacked (and preferably wrapped in aluminum foil). If there is enough space in the pan, several pancakes can be cooked at the same time.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Kefir Fermentation Magic 🥛
Let the kefir sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before mixing to activate its natural tenderizing enzymes and enhance pancake fluffiness.
Flour Sifting Secret 🌾
Always sift whole wheat flour to break up clumps and aerate it, which prevents dense pancakes and ensures a lighter, more delicate texture.
Resting Batter Technique 🕰️
Allow the pancake batter to rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking, which helps hydrate the flour and allows gluten to relax, resulting in more tender pancakes.
Cinnamon Bloom Trick 🌿
Gently toast the ground cinnamon in the melted butter before mixing into the batter to unlock its full aromatic potential and deepen its flavor profile.
Perfect Pancake Griddle Test 🍳
Sprinkle a few drops of water on the griddle - if they dance and sizzle, your pan is at the perfect temperature for golden, evenly cooked pancakes.
