- Add the flour and bicarbonate of soda, and stir into a thick but not too firm batter.
- Leave to rest for 5 minutes, until the soda reacts and the batter bubbles up.

- Fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Serve warm with sour cream, jam or honey.

Tips
- The batter needs to be thick enough to be spooned out.
- Stir the bicarbonate of soda straight into the flour, so it distributes evenly.
- Fry over medium heat, so the inside cooks through too.
- Best fresh, but can also be frozen.
Frequently asked questions
Can the kefir be substituted?
Yes, yoghurt or a buttermilk-water mix also works. The soured milk product matters, as it reacts with the bicarbonate of soda to make the batter soft.
How is it different from a pancake?
Thicker, smaller and softer, more like an American pancake.
