pancake party

These are the fluffiest pancakes you can make without specialist kit, combining the triumverate of fluffiness – bicarb activated by tangy kefir and given an extra boost by whisked egg whites. Whether you serve them with berries and yoghurt or bacon and maple syrup, they make a perfect brunch to share.
