- 200g flour of your choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 150 ml milk
- 150 ml kefir
- 1 handful of dill, chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- To serve:
- grated zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 tsp horseradish sauce
- 200 ml Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl.
- Mix the milk, kefir and eggs in another bowl, then add half of this mixture to the flour and combine. Gently fold in the rest with a flat wooden spoon.
