Kefir Oatcakes

Whisk kefir and egg in a medium bowl. Make sure the kefir is well shaken before you pour it into the bowl or it will come out very watery.

Combine oats, flour, sugar, baking soda, and apple pie spice in a large bowl. Mix dry and wet ingredients together and let stand while you heat the pancake skillet with oil or butter over medium heat. The oatcake batter will bubble slightly. With a 1/4 cup measuring utensil, spoon the batter onto the hot griddle and cook each side until slightly browned and cooked in the center, about 2-4 minutes per side. Serve hot with maple syrup and/or fruit.

Yield: 4 servings (about 3 pancakes each)
