Sift the flour into a bowl (optional).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan1-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAdd an egg into the main bowl…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan2-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and salt and sugar.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan3-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAdd kefir. If you buy Tesco’s one of the Biotiful make, the bottle already contains the quantity you need – 250 ml. IMPORTANT: your kefir should be warm (or at least of room temperature) – NOT straight from the fridge.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan4-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nStart adding the flour – gradually, mixing it in, to regulate thickness of your batter.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan5-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYou may add vanilla sugar (optional). I added half a teaspoon just for aroma.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan6-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nChop 1 medium-sized apple into small pieces (you can do it in advance)…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan7-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and add it to your batter.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan8-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAdd the baking soda. Be careful not to add too much of it, so it wouldn’t taste in your pancakes. 1\/2 a teaspoon is the absolute maximum. I used 1\/3 of a teaspoon.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan9-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and mix it in very well, so it would dissolve evenly in the batter. Regulate thickness of your batter – it should not turn out too thick and firm.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan10-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nCover the batter with a towel and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Do not stir it again.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan11-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nHeat the frying pan up at the medium heat with quite a generous amount of vegetable oil, and place the batter onto it in spoonfulls, forming pancakes. Mine turned out quite big – you can make yours smaller.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan12-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nCover your frying pan with a lid (which steams up immediately \ud83d\ude42 ) and fry until your pancakes turn firm and golden from one side…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan13-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and they grow and get fluffier as they are being fried.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan14-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nOnce your pancakes turn firm and golden from one side, flip them over…<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan15-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\n… and once they are ready, take them off the heat and place on a plate with some paper kitchen towels (to absorb extra oil).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan16-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nThey are fluffy… and extremely DELICIOUS!\u00a0Now – how can I stop eating them???<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan17-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAnd you can make smaller and neater, or fun-shaped, pancakes using a silicone mould like this! However, there’s a skill to it.<\/p>\n
While using the mould, always use it the concave side up.<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan18-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nPut the mould onto a frying pan and fill the shapes in with the batter. However, do not put too much into one shape (like this one in the middle – I put a bit too much of batter there).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan19-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nOnly when the bottom side turned golden and isn’t raw anymore, you can flip your mould up using the side handles\u00a0 – the pancakes will stay in. (If the bottom is still raw, they will fall out of the mould).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan20-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAnd when the other side is firm and golden too, you can lift the mould up, and the pancakes will come out of it. (If you put a little bit too much of dough in one shape, there will be extra of it on the sides – like that one in the middle. You can cut it off later).<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/tashrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/pan21-300x225.jpg\")
<\/p>\nAnd… voila! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
