Method
Whisk together kefir2, egg, sugar, and salt until smooth.
Fold in flour and baking soda, mixing into a thick, lump-free batter. Let rest for 5 minutes.
Heat a skillet with a thin layer of oil, then spoon small portions of batter into it.
Cook pancakes 2–3 minutes per side over medium heat until golden and dry in the center.
Slice strawberries8 and banana9 into thin strips; leave blueberries10 whole.
Arrange fruit and berry faces on top of the pancakes and serve warm.
Tips
- Why it works
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the baking soda dissolves fully and the pancakes don't fall apart in the pan.
- Substitutions
- Plain yogurt works instead of kefir in the same amount. Instead of strawberries, use cherries or peaches.
- Common mistakes
- If the middle of a pancake is wet and the edges are burnt, the heat is too high or the portions are too big.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps for 1 day in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 20 seconds, covering the plate. Don't freeze.
- Serve with
- Serve with tea or cocoa at a morning party or a kids' breakfast.
