30 min, 2-3 servings
vegetarian

  • 1 cup Maple Hill vanilla kefir
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup Maple Hill whole  milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon  baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 teaspoons butter for pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200° F.
  2. Whisk together kefir, egg, and milk, then stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until it just smooth—don’t over mix batter. Let it rest 10-15 minutes. The batter will  be thick.
  3. Heat griddle or pan over medium heat. Test the heat of the pan: when a few drops of water scatter on the surface, the griddle is hot enough. Add a generous pat of butter  to pan and let it foam.
  4. Working in batches, use ¼ cup measure to pour batter onto pan. Lift and rotate pan if necessary to spread your batter. Lower heat to medium-low, and once bubbles appear on surface, flip. Cook until fully browned, about one minute more. Transfer to a heatproof plate in the warmed oven and repeat until batter is gone.
  5. Serve with nut butters, real maple syrup, or Greek yogurt.

*You can add just about anything to this sturdy  batter: citrus  zest, finely chopped nuts, fresh berries, minced banana, or even crumbled bacon.
