Method
Whisk kefir1, egg, sugar and salt together, add flour with baking powder and mix until the batter is smooth.
Wash the apple3, peel, grate on a coarse grater and fold into the batter with the cinnamon, then mix.
Heat a skillet about 20 cm in diameter over medium heat, add a small amount of vegetable oil and let it warm through.
Drop a portion of batter onto the skillet and fry over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until the bottom is golden, then flip.
Continue cooking another 2–3 minutes until golden and the batter is cooked through inside.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a small amount of oil between portions if needed.
Serve warm; you can dust with powdered sugar or serve with honey and sour cream, if desired.
Tips: you can prep the batter in advance without the apple3 and add the apple right before frying for a stronger aroma; store in the fridge no more than 1 day.
Tips
- Why it works
- Use grated apple right away to avoid browning and keep the texture tender; wait too long and it releases liquid, making pancakes soggy.
- Substitutions
- Replace apple with 80g mashed banana for a sweeter taste, or swap kefir for 150ml buttermilk if unavailable.
- Common mistakes
- Overcooking turns pancakes dry. Notice when edges darken too fast or smell burnt before flipping.
- Storing and reheating
- Eat fresh or refrigerate for 2 days; reheat in a dry pan for 1 minute per side. Freezes poorly.
- Serve with
- Pair with a glass of cold milk or a slice of fresh pear for a balanced breakfast.
