Culinary expert Yevhen Klopotenko has shared a recipe and secrets for making delicious, fluffy and light pancakes that always turn out well on his website.
The secrets of successful pancakes:
1. Kefir
You can use kefir of any fat content to make pancakes. But the fatter it is, the fluffier and more airy the pancakes will be. It is ideal to take kefir of 2.5% fat.

2. Sugar
The amount of sugar can be adjusted based on your taste preferences. But remember that it is better to add jam or honey to the finished pancakes than to increase the amount of sugar in the batter. Due to excess sugar, pancakes quickly burn on the outside and do not bake inside.
