The secret to pancakes with the perfect texture lies in the right dough. However, it doesn't matter whether it's made with water, milk, kefir, or whey. It's important to let it rest for a while. As a result, you will get thin, elastic, and soft pancakes with holes.

Food blogger Olha Borachok (olya_borachok) shared a recipe for thin and elastic pancakes on her Instagram page.

The main secret of pancakes with the perfect texture is that the finished dough should be allowed to sit in the refrigerator for some time. It takes from 30 minutes to 12 hours.
