1. Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, salt, sugar, and cinnamon until fluffy.
Add kefir (or yogurt/buttermilk) and sunflower oil, stirring until combined.
Gradually sift in flour and baking soda, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
Fold in the grated apple for natural sweetness and moisture.
2. Cook the Pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and grease with a little oil.
Pour small ladles of batter into the pan.
Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles appear, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
3. Serve
Enjoy warm with honey, maple syrup, or powdered sugar.
Serve with yogurt or fresh fruit for a balanced meal.
Serving Suggestions
Top with chopped nuts and honey for extra crunch.
Drizzle with caramel sauce for a dessert-like treat.
Serve with whipped cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.
Cooking Tips
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of nutmeg or ginger.
For a richer flavor, replace sunflower oil with melted butter.
