Vanilla Kefir Pancakes With Raspberries

Step 1

Preheat oven to warm.

Step 2

Whisk together kefir, egg, and milk, then  stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until it just smooth— don’t over  mix batter. Let batter rest 10-15 minutes. Batter will be thick.

Step 3

Heat griddle or pan over medium heat. When a few drops of water scatter on  the surface, the griddle is hot enough. Add a generous pat of butter to  pan and let it foam.

Step 4

Working in batches, use ¼ cup measure to pour  batter onto pan. Lift and rotate pan if necessary to spread thick  batter. 

Step 5

Lower heat to medium-low, and once bubbles appear on surface,  flip. Cook until fully browned, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a  heatproof plate in warmed oven and repeat until batter is gone.

Step 6

Serve with nut butters, real maple syrup, or as seen here, our Greek yogurt.

Variations

You  can add just about anything to this sturdy batter—we recommend citrus  zest, finely chopped nuts, fresh berries, minced banana, or even  crumbled bacon.
