Cook Time20 minutes
Total Time30 minutes

Equipment

  • Medium sized frying pan
  • Flour sifter

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp sweetener of your choice optional
  • 1 cup flour
  • 200 mL kefir 1% MF, warmed
  • 200 mL boiling water
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter melted (for batter)
  • 2-3 tbsp coconut oil or butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs with salt and sweetener until they become foamy (can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for a smoother texture)
  • Continue beating eggs (if using a hand mixer, at medium speed) while gradually pouring boiling water into the mixture
  • Heat the kefir in the microwave to warm, but not boiling (approx. 1 minute)
  • Add baking soda to the warm kefir and stir (the mixture should make a hissing sound and begin to foam)
  • Add the kefir mixture to the beaten eggs
  • Sift flour
  • Gradually add flour in equal parts to the egg/kefir mixture (continuing to mix at medium speed if using a mixer), mixing well until no lumps are visible
  • Add melted coconut oil to the batter
  • Heat a medium-sized (10” or 12”) frying pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of coconut oil to the hot pan
  • Pour about ¼ cup of the batter into the middle of the pan, while rotating and tilting the pan so the batter is evenly distributed all over the base of the pan
  • Cook for 30 seconds or until the edges are golden brown, carefully flip over and cook the other side for another 30 seconds
  • Repeat until all the batter has been used up, serve immediately with your choice of fillings/toppings

Notes

*I used a mixture of buckwheat, rice and spelt flour, but you can choose any flour that you prefer.
