Directions:

    1. Prepare vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage, chop the onion, and grate the carrot.
    2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs, then stir in 500 ml kefir or thick yogurt.
    3. Add dry ingredients: Sift 300 g of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda (or baking powder) into the wet mixture. Stir until smooth.
    1. Combine with vegetables: Fold in the shredded cabbage, onion, and grated carrot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
