Thin kefir pancakes with holes - step-by-step recipes for delicious and delicate pancakes

A national Russian holiday is approaching - Maslenitsa. And we will see off winter and welcome spring. And we will greet her with delicious, buttery, delicate pancakes. Among the Slavs, the pancake symbolizes the sun. And we treat each other to such delicious sunshine so that spring will come sooner.

Classic pancake dough is usually made with milk. But kefir pancakes are no less popular in Russia and throughout the post-Soviet space. Flour is used more often than premium wheat flour. But there are recipes for dough made from buckwheat and corn flour.

The most delicious way to cook, of course, is stuffed pancakes. A wide variety of fillings are wrapped in pancakes. Cottage cheese, feta cheese, minced meat, fried mushrooms, red and black caviar are used for this. Or sweet, berry fillings with lingonberries, blueberries, cherries. Even the youngest members of the family can put the filling in the middle of the pancake and roll it up. We have already learned how to cook even pancake cakes.

We don't get tired of pancakes because they are baked from different doughs and served in different ways. Unsweetened - with sour cream, butter, caviar. Or sweet ones - with jam, jam or condensed milk. This is a dish that we are ready to eat every day. And on Maslenitsa there is simply no housewife who would not cook several varieties of this festive treat for her family and guests.

I am preparing thoroughly for the holiday and have already described in detail how to make pancake dough using water. And today I want to consider several options for dough using kefir or yogurt. They are all different and all tasty and aromatic in their own way. Choose which ones you like and cook with joy and good mood!

In 2020, Maslenitsa will last from February 12 to 18. And I’m already starting to prepare different variations of pancakes to celebrate the holiday fully prepared. And also, of course, in order to collect and publish here a list of the best recipes. I hope that they will be useful to you.

Pour in the remaining kefir and continue kneading the dough. Be sure to let it sit for a quarter of an hour.
