• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt.

   Create a well in the centre, and add the kefir, eggs, and oil and slowly whisk until smooth and most of the lumps are gone.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Make sure the frying pan is hot. Add about 2 tablespoons of batter to make each pancake. You should fit 3-4 pancakes in a large trying pan.

   Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the pancakes and a few of them have burst. The trick is to get as many bubbles bursting as you can without burning the pancakes.
