Prepare vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage, chop the onion, and grate the carrot.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs, then stir in 500 ml kefir or thick yogurt.

Combine with vegetables: Fold in the shredded cabbage, onion, and grated carrot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Fry the pancakes: Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flatten slightly, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serve warm: Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra creaminess.
Add a side of salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.
Cooking Tips:
For a healthier option, bake the pancakes on a greased baking sheet at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Add a handful of grated cheese for an extra savory flavor.
If you want a lighter texture, use sparkling water instead of kefir or yogurt.
