I was always wary of recipes for pancakes made from kefir, and to be honest, they didn’t always work out for me. The dough on it turned out to be very tender, it constantly tore in the pan, and the cooking process left only a feeling of frustration (“It didn’t work out again!”).
When I discovered the recipe for custard pancakes with kefir, my joy knew no bounds. The dough remained just as thin and tender, but thanks to the steep boiling water, which added stickiness to the flour, it was more durable. Tasty, tender, aromatic, goes well with honey, jam, condensed milk, ideal for stuffing.
If you are preparing this recipe for the first time, I will immediately dispel your fears. Yes, you can pour boiling water into the dough, the ingredients will not curdle! It does not contribute to the formation of lumps, but on the contrary, makes the mass more homogeneous.
Well, I think you are already armed with all the necessary equipment, let's bake pancakes!
Openwork pancakes with kefir and boiling water - a step-by-step recipe for thin pancakes
For this recipe we need alcohol. Agree, quite an unusual solution! And this is another promised secret.
The most important reason for using alcoholic beverages in cooking is, of course, the aroma. In addition, alcohol, like salt, enhances the taste of ingredients, helping them to perform better. It limits the production of gluten in wheat flour, which makes the dough more tender. The alcohol begins to evaporate at a fairly low temperature, so during the baking process the dough is saturated with air and becomes even fluffier.
This is a spicy detail that turns a familiar dish into luxury! Don't miss the chance to prepare your own airy openwork culinary masterpiece!

Cooking pancakes with kefir and boiling water step by step
Very tasty openwork pancakes with lots of holes! Thanks to brewing with boiling water, they turn out moist and soft. In this recipe we use cold kefir so that the soda does not react prematurely with the acidic environment, and the process we need occurs at high temperature directly during baking in a frying pan.
As a result, you can achieve a lace texture. Also, these pancakes are quite elastic, and you can wrap any filling in them. Treat your loved ones to this wonderful treat!
To prepare we will need:

3. Gradually sift the flour into the dough and stir thoroughly until smooth. You can do this using a mixer.
At this stage the mass becomes thick. Now we need boiling water to brew the dough and give it the desired consistency.
