Equipment

Ingredients

1 ½ cups All Purpose Flour
2 teaspoon Baking Powder
½ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 ¾ cup Vanilla Kefir
1 Egg
3 tablespoon Butter Melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine. Set that aside.
In another bowl, add the vanilla kefir, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter to a large bowl and mix again.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. It's ok if there are a few lumps left in the batter. You want the batter to be thick.
Preheat a large skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Use a non-stick pan if you can which will prevent the pancakes from sticking.
Spoon the batter into the hot griddle or hot skillet. Let the batter cook for a couple of minutes. When the edges start to dry out and there are small bubbles in the center of the pancake, flip the pancake.
Cook the second side for 2-3 minutes. Continue with the rest of the batter until all the pancakes are made. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make sure the butter is completely melted in the pan before you add the pancake batter. Hot butter will give the pancakes their nice, crisp edges.
Use an ice cream scoop or a measuring cup to spoon out the batter into the pan. This will make sure you have even pancakes and that they are all the same size.
After you flip the pancakes, resist the urge to press down on the pancakes. That will prevent the pancakes from rising and getting that nice, fluffy texture you want.
