Mysterious Kefir Dough Pancakes Conquer the World
A mysterious culinary delight, kefir dough pancakes, has captivated taste buds worldwide. Despite their popularity, the inventor of this scrumptious treat remains unknown, shrouded in the mists of time.
The secret to these soft, fresh pastries lies in their simple yet effective preparation. Begin by combining room temperature kefir, an egg, a teaspoon each of sugar and salt, three tablespoons of oil, 350 grams of wheat flour, and a teaspoon of baking powder. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes before use.
To bake, line a skillet with parchment, place the dough balls, flatten them, add your chosen filling - such as mashed potatoes with sautéed onions or cheese with herbs - and pinch them closed. Bake on the lowest heat for 20 minutes on the first side and 15-20 minutes on the second. For a gas stove, use the smallest flame and keep the lid on for the first 15 minutes to achieve an oven-like effect. The result? Delicious, soft pastries that stay fresh even the next day.
Despite the anonymity of their creator, kefir dough pancakes have secured their place in many a kitchen. With their simplicity, versatility, and deliciousness, they're a testament to the power of humble ingredients and clever hands.
