This oladi recipe makes pancakes similar to American ones, but they are usually smaller in size and fried in oil which produces a beautifully crunchy edge. Serve hot with jam or sour cream.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup plain kefir

  • 1 egg, beaten

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ⅓ teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. Whisk 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons flour, kefir, egg, sugar, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl to make a batter.

  2. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Heat oil in the skillet. Pour 1 to 2 tablespoons of batter into the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.

Tips

Substitute buttermilk for the kefir if desired.

Use a blender to combine batter if preferred.
