My kefir pancakes result from numerous trials and modifications to achieve the ideal texture and taste. Kefir adds fluffiness and delicacy to the pancakes, making them a family favorite. You only need a few ingredients that you’ll likely already find in your kitchen.
The key rule for perfect kefir pancakes
Making kefir pancakes is a simple and enjoyable activity that can become a family tradition. Apple yeast pancakes with kefir are delicious and evoke childhood memories and a homely atmosphere.

So take them out of the fridge before cooking, as this is crucial for achieving the ideal consistency.
Apple pancakes with kefir - recipe
Unlike classical yeast pancakes, these yeast pancakes will still be delicious after cooling. However, they are best served hot. To prepare these tasty apple pancakes with kefir, you will need:
- 14 fl oz of kefir,
- 10.5 oz of wheat flour,
- 2 medium apples,
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder,
- 2 medium eggs,
- a pinch of salt,
- powdered sugar for serving (optional),
- canola oil for frying.
Preparation:
- Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small cubes. Add them to the batter and mix well.
- Cover the batter with a cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- During this time, prepare the necessary accessories such as a frying pan and oil.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Spoon the batter to form small pancakes. Fry them on both sides until golden brown.
- Remember not to fry them on too high a heat to avoid burning them on the outside while leaving them raw inside.
- When the pancakes are ready, drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Kefir pancakes with apples
The ready kefir pancakes are best served warm, right after frying. You can sprinkle them with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. They taste just as good with various jams, honey, or sour cream. My kids love them with fresh, seasonal fruits. What else can you add to kefir pancakes? The possibilities are endless. Seasonal fruits, chocolate sauce, and even nuts pair wonderfully with the delicate flavor of the pancakes. You can also add spices like cinnamon or vanilla to the batter for a unique aroma.
