Two proven versions of thick pancakes — one on kefir and one on Greek yogurt. The first is denser and taller, the second softer and creamier.

Instructions

Batter

In a bowl, mix the egg, sugar, salt and vanilla.

Add the kefir (or the yogurt with milk) and whisk together.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir only until they come together — there is no need to work the batter.

Leave the batter for 7–10 minutes. After that, avoid stirring it much, to keep the air in.

Cooking

Spoon the batter onto a well-heated but not scorching pan with a little oil.

Cook over slightly below medium heat for 2–3 minutes, covered.

When the underside is golden and small bubbles appear on top, flip carefully and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

How the two differ

On kefir

The tallest and most familiar version: the batter is dense but not rubbery. Just as fluffy the next day.

On yogurt

Slightly softer, creamier and less dense in structure.

Freezing

They freeze well

Cool completely, freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a bag.
