These pancakes are made with kefir instead of buttermilk and the results are extra fluffy and delicious. You can make them with white flour or whole wheat, they are great either way.

- I enjoyed them served with fresh strawberries and creme fraiche.
I’ve been making these for several years, thinking it was my own “personal” recipe. They are very tender. You can use flavored kefir, such as vanilla or fruit. I make my own homemade kefir with a live culture purchased from “Cultures for Health” company. It’s been going for about 4 years now along with my yogurt cultures.
