Chocolate pancakes according to this recipe turn out very tender, airy, and have a pronounced chocolate flavor. The pancakes are quite fragile, they need to be flipped carefully, and should not be made too thin.
Kefir
1 cup (8 fl oz)
Chocolate
3.5 oz
Eggs
3
Baking Soda
1/2 tsp
Sugar
1/2 cup
Sunflower Oil
5 tbsp
Cocoa Powder
1 tbsp
Flour
3/4 cup
To prepare chocolate pancakes with kefir, separate the egg whites from the yolks. Put the egg whites in the refrigerator, and beat the yolks with sugar until pale. Add sunflower oil and baking soda dissolved in vinegar.
In a small saucepan, pour kefir, add broken chocolate pieces to it, and place it on low heat. Stirring constantly, heat the kefir (it should be around 36-40 degrees Fahrenheit), remove from heat, and continue stirring until the chocolate is completely dissolved.
Add the resulting chocolate mixture to the beaten egg yolks and mix well.
Mix the flour and cocoa powder, sift, and gradually add to the batter. The batter should be the consistency of thin sour cream.
Beat the chilled egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, add them to the batter, and gently fold in.
Bake the pancakes on a well-heated and greased skillet.
If the batter is too thick, you can slightly thin it with warm boiling water.
