Preparation
Step 1
Use premium-grade flour. Kefir should be at room temperature, so take it out of the fridge in advance. Salt dissolves poorly in cold kefir. Use kefir with 2.5-3.2% fat. For frying, use refined, odorless vegetable oil.
Step 2
Peel boiled sausage from factory casing and cut into small cubes. Instead of boiled sausage, you can use smoked sausage or any other cooked-smoked meat: ham, pork loin, neck, ham cut, balyk sausage, etc.
Step 3
Grate the cheese on a coarse or medium grater. Any cheese will work for this dish, as long as it is tasty, good quality, contains no vegetable fats, and melts well.
Step 4
Sift the flour into a bowl. Pour in room temperature kefir, add an egg, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Mix the batter thoroughly with a whisk, breaking up all lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too liquid, add a bit more flour. If too thick, thin it with kefir.
Step 6
Add the diced sausage and grated cheese to the batter. Mix again.
Step 7
Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Spoon the batter into the pan, shaping small round pancakes. Fry on both sides until golden brown.
Step 8
Transfer the ready pancakes to a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
