Fluffy Oladi (Ukrainian Pancakes)
February 28, 2024 by admin
Instructions
Make a batter for Oladi
In a small bowl combine Kefir and water and microwave for 30 seconds. In another large mixing bowl combine together egg, salt and sugar. Add warmed kefir and mix everything until combined.
Add flour
Gradually add in 2 cups of flour mixing the batter until it’s smooth and without lumps. The batter should resemble a dense sour cream. If it’s too thin, add a few more tablespoons of flour.
Add in baking soda and mix everything once again.
Add diced apples and carefully give everything a stir.
Fry the pancakes
Melt 2 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drop about a heaping tablespoon of batter in a skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden-brown. Flip and fry for another minute. You can cook 5-6 Oladi at a time.
Transfer fried pancakes on a plate, add more oil if needed and continue frying the remaining batter.
Serve with your favorite jam, honey or sour cream.
Notes
Making ahead of time and storage. Oladi can be prepared ahead of time. They’ll keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat them in a microwave until warm.
Making the recipe vegan? Oladi can totally be made with vegan. I recommend replacing an egg with ½ mashed banana or ½ c applesauce.
