Meanwhile, such pancakes are prepared very simply and quickly, and they require very little food, so take this recipe into service if you are going to save on everyday expenses.
Dough:
- a glass of kefir;
- 1 egg;
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar;
- 0.5 teaspoon of soda;
- 1 teaspoon vinegar;
- salt to taste (you don’t have to add it, as the sausages are salty);
- flour - approximately 1–1.5 cups.
The dough is prepared as for any other kefir pancakes:
- Lightly beat the egg.
- Add kefir.
- Add sifted flour, salt and spices to taste.
- At the end of kneading, add baking soda.
The thickness of the dough should be similar to thick sour cream. You need to add sausages cut into small pieces (cut lengthwise into 4 parts and chop), you can put a little dried or fresh herbs or green onions, but just a little, otherwise the taste will change. Fry in vegetable oil on both sides. The heat should be medium, otherwise the products will either burn or take a long time to cook and absorb a lot of oil.

The dough for these pancakes is prepared according to the recipe above (pancakes with sausages). Instead of kefir, you can take fermented baked milk or yogurt without additives.

The secret of making pancakes with and without filling
It is worth noting that there are a huge number of analogues of dough for pancakes and their frying. For example, previously, depending on the area and personal preferences, milk, kefir, yogurt, curdled milk or water were chosen as the basis for the dough.
As for baking, it is possible to fry in a frying pan, preferably cast iron, and in the oven.
Now in the arsenal of housewives, frying pans with Teflon coating have begun to appear, in which you can cook delicious dietary pancakes without adding oil.
There are a number of secrets for making pancakes that you should definitely pay attention to before making fried pancakes:
- Flour. It is advisable to use wheat flour, however, the use of corn or buckwheat flour is acceptable. Be sure to sift the flour before use.
- The consistency of the dough should be slightly thicker than sour cream. A composition that is too liquid will spread over the pan, while a composition that is too dense, on the contrary, will cause the pancakes to become too elastic.
- When preparing pancakes, you need to take the liquid warm or slightly heated so that the soda reaction occurs faster and better. In this case, the pancakes will turn out fragrant and fluffy.
- The dough must rest or, in other words, be saturated with oxygen. In this case, it will be more pliable, and the pancakes themselves will be tender and pleasant. Once the dough has settled, there is no need to stir anymore.
- To add a pleasant aroma, you can add vanillin, dill or any other seasoning, depending on personal preference.
- It is best to prepare the dough in a deep clay container using a whisk. Despite the fact that now there are a huge number of devices, such as blenders and mixers, pancakes should be kneaded by hand, so they will be more airy and light.
- Filling. It is worth noting that even 2 and 3 hundred years ago, pancakes were made with a variety of fillings. They added fruits, both fresh and dry, but pre-soaked, as well as jam, meat, cheese and more.
It is better to fry pancakes in a cast iron frying pan, always with the addition of vegetable oil. After frying, they are laid out on a paper towel to blot away any fat.

Tips for the recipe
- To make the pancakes extremely tender and fluffy, they are made with kefir. You can replace this product with sour milk. In the proposed recipe, “oxidation” of milk occurs with the help of sour cream. You can “acidify” fresh milk with lemon juice (add 1 tablespoon per glass and wait 5–10 minutes).
- The acid in the dairy product is needed to quench the soda. But to loosen the dough, you can use baking powder, or quench the baking soda with vinegar.
- You can diversify the taste of the dessert by adding: cinnamon, dried fruits, raisins, nuts. These products should be mixed into the finished dough.
- If you mix cottage cheese with condensed milk and berry puree, you will get a wonderful sauce that will decorate and complement the taste of the “pancakes with chocolate filling” dish.
- In recipes with cocoa, this ingredient can be replaced with grated chocolate.
- When you spoon the batter into the pan, try to keep the portions even.
- Regular pancakes are fried in a large amount of oil, and pancakes are cooked in an almost dry frying pan. The chocolate filling will come in handy in both versions. If you have a thin batter (a little thicker than for pancakes), then fry the pancakes in an almost dry frying pan, lightly greasing it with oil.
- On one side, the pancakes need to be fried at maximum heat (this will allow them to rise better).
- The pancake dough can be made in advance and placed in the refrigerator. Prepare in the morning.
Airy chocolate pancakes are worthy of decoration, which can be used as:
- sweet fruit and berry products (jam, jam, confiture or preserves);
- liquid chocolate or honey;
- powdered sugar or cinnamon;
- ice cream or condensed milk;
- berries or pieces of fruit;
- whipped cream or sour cream.
