Kefir pancakes : tart and tangy

Hello all,
 We are making kefir and like most people who start this practice, we soon realized that we had a surplus of kefir accumulating. One use for this surplus is to freeze in ice cube trays and run thru a blender as an improv ice cream. This is great but could destroy the probiotic goodness I think. Personally I do not make fermented foods just for the probiotic goodness but I do it for the flavor as well. Remember that prebiotics are as important as probiotics and NEVER neglect or sacrifice flavor and feel that you need to eat just for health benefits!
 Kefir pancakes are another great way to use up that extra kefir. Tart and tangy and will shame your traditional buttermilk pancake taste exponentially.

NOTE: We had previously decided to make a no-baking soda or powder recipe and had seperated the eggs and fluffed the whites but at last moment decided to add the soda/powder but used same picture of the ingredients. Keep in mind this is not a recipe or cooking blog :)

Directions:
Mix the water with the kefir until the consistency is that of milk. It may take more or less water to do this.

The goal is to have 1 3/4 cups of kefir and water mix in a milk like consistency. We are after flavor here!

Batter should be as thick as pancake batter and will vary depending on consistency of your kefir/water mix!
