My mom makes pancakes or pancakes from it, that’s the rule. By the way, they even turn out tastier. I think you should do the same thing and that’s it. I personally don’t see any other options, they probably exist, but I think that these options are simpler and less time-consuming .My mother does the same thing with spoiled milk.
You can bake anything from expired kefir.
Here's an example of this recipe:
VEGETABLE PIE
Ingredients for test:
Kefir half a liter.
Egg 2 pcs.
Flour 1 cup.
Baking soda on the tip of a knife, salt to taste.
Knead the dough.
Ingredients for the pie:
Potatoes 3 pieces.
Sausage or sausages 3 pcs.
Half medium carrots.
Garlic 2-3 cloves.
Ketchup 2 tablespoons.
Vegetable oil.
Greens, salt, ground black pepper to taste.
Cut the onion into half rings.
Grate the carrots on a fine grater.
Peel the potatoes, wash them, grate them on a coarse grater.
Chop the garlic.
Grease the walls of the mold or frying pan with vegetable oil, pour a little oil on the bottom of the frying pan, pour a thin layer of dough to cover the bottom of the frying pan, lay out the onions, put grated potatoes on top and add salt, add garlic, herbs, put grated carrots on top, put chopped carrots on top sausages or sausages (I added ham), grease with ketchup, salt and pepper and fill the mold with dough, make a hole in the middle of the pie.
Place the pan in a preheated oven at 175 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
Bon appetit!!!
I throw away all expired products without regret. That’s why they write expiration dates, so that they can be adhered to, for a reason. It seems that we are not living in the most hungry times, why cook something from expired kefir?
It’s better to bake pancakes, by the way, the more sour the kefir, the fluffier than a pancake. Add salt, sugar to taste, soda, 2-3 eggs, flour to make it look like thick sour cream and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil, I also vanilla sugar I add. Pancakes are baked on sunflower oil. And you are welcome for tea.
I think that the cheese will not be very tasty, boiling it is also not an option, it will simply curdle and turn out to be sour curd.
If I suddenly come across any expired or simply spoiled fermented milk liquid product (ryazhenka, kefir, yogurt), I usually put it into the dough - the baked goods turn out simply great.
Once I came across expired yogurt, we were afraid to eat it, although it didn’t look spoiled, I made pancakes - they went with a bang, I didn’t expect it myself))
It also works out well yeast dough on fermented milk products.
In general, if you process such a product, then only with heat treatment.
You can cook something up from expired kefir. For example, kefir pie. Take a glass of kefir, two eggs, half a glass of sugar, baking powder, a glass of flour. Mix everything and place in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
Invite your neighbor to visit and give her a treat!))) otherwise her fur coat is not new! Just think! Let him sit on the toilet and think about his behavior!))) He also smelled French perfume, like later from that horse! Two mugs of kefir for her!)))
It is convenient to make pancakes from store-bought kefir that has expired but has not been opened.
If kefir is expired when opened, it develops a bitter taste. It's appropriate to do this here biscuit dough for a cupcake or cake with sour filling.
For both pancake and biscuit dough, use a glass of kefir for two or three glasses of flour. It is not necessary to add sugar to the dough, as it aggravates the bitterness of kefir. If you can do without sugar in pancakes, then in biscuit dough No. Therefore, when expired kefir is used for a sponge cake, the amount of sugar used is half that required according to the recipe. Pancakes and biscuits are baked with kefir longer than with milk, keep this point in mind.
You can just throw it away, or make pancakes. But it depends on what kind of kefir, if it’s store-bought, it’s better to throw it away, you never know what it’s made of or what’s in it...
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon soda
- 400 grams of kefir
- 2 cups of flour
- 1-2 medium apples
If the sell-by date for kefir is expired, it is risky to eat it without heat treatment. But you can bake pancakes with this kefir. You just need to try it to see if the kefir has become bitter. If it's bitter, you'll have to throw it away.
In my opinion, nothing can be made from kefir, which is now sold in our stores. I bought a kidney 45 days ago, the day before yesterday I found it in the refrigerator, opened it - and it didn’t even turn sour! And from sour village kefir You can make cottage cheese as follows: take a large gauze, pour it into non-kefir, and carefully holding the gauze by the ends, lower it into boiling water - the kefir will curdle and harden after a while. You will get delicious cottage cheese.
I make pancakes with kefir, for this you need: kefir, salt, granulated sugar, soda, semolina, flour. You get tall, airy pancakes
I would like to offer a very simple and delicious recipe preparing pancakes with apples on kefir, and on sour kefir, for the dough you will need:
Mix the eggs with sugar, add salt and soda, then add kefir, mix again and add flour last. Cut the apples into small slices. Below in the photo you can see how to place apples on the dough.
This is the beauty you will get. Try it, very tasty!
I make pancakes with apples or bananas from sour kefir. They are made in the standard way: flour, salt, soda, eggs, kefir - stir everything until creamy, add finely chopped apples or bananas and fry (this is important!! and this is the main secret!) in large quantities olive oil over high heat. These pancakes turn out very fluffy, rosy, very, very tasty with a crispy crust.
If your kefir is sour, first check to see if it has gone completely bad. The rancid taste of kefir indicates that it should not be used as food.
But let’s say the kefir is just a little expired and you’re afraid to drink it. Then you can use this kefir for baking.
I suggest a simple and quick recipe a pie that even a novice housewife can make.
Cabbage pie - sloth.
You can first pour a little dough into the mold, then the filling, and the rest of the dough on top.
It’s not necessary to add raw cabbage, slightly fried, with onions, carrots, and chopped eggs, it will be very tasty, but then cook it and it’s no longer lazy.
Try it, you might like it.
On sour kefir turns out well non-yeast pie dough which can be made from any filling:
mashed potatoes with butter,
eggs with green finely chopped and mashed until juice appears onions,
stewed cabbage,
cottage cheese with sugar, can be salty and with green onions and etc.
To do this, I take half a liter of kefir or curdled milk, a teaspoon of salt, the same amount of sugar (you don’t have to add it if you don’t like sweetened dough), 3 eggs, half a teaspoon of soda, quench it directly in kefir, add half a pack of melted butter or margarine, mix everything well, add flour, make the dough like dumplings (medium thickness). You need to divide the dough into pieces (2-3 pieces), shape them into a ball, flatten them and let them stand (15-20 minutes) so that you can roll them out.
We do not roll out the dough completely, cut out circles using cups (regular 200 g) so that they are all the same. Then we roll out each circle to the required thickness (not too thin, it doesn’t need to be like dumplings, it’s thin, then the pies won’t be fluffy, although some like them thin, like pasties) and stuff them. And all at once to evenly distribute the filling. Then I make pies.
I fry in so much refined vegetable oil required for frying ordinary pies made from yeast dough, not over high, but not over low heat.
It turns out these are the pies (shaped like pasties):
Or this form:
Or like these pies:
BON APPETIT!!!
P.S. The pies may not turn out the way you would like the first time. Therefore, my advice: make half a portion so that you don’t have to throw out a lot. :) (What if you fry in very hot oil or roll it out too thick, the pies won’t bake; or, conversely, in low oil, the oil will suck in and they will be greasy; roll out thinly, the filling may fall out, etc.) All comes with experience. Know this. :)
For example, cottage cheese. Pour kefir into a saucepan, then put it on the stove over medium heat and stir lightly. It needs to be removed from the stove when it starts to boil. Next, cool and drain the whey.
From sour kefir You can bake a sponge cake, the recipe is very simple, it doesn’t take long to bake either. To do this, 300 grams of flour, mixed with cocoa, 1/2 tsp. baking powder and a pinch of salt and adding 1 tsp. stir soda.
In a separate bowl, beat with a mixer a glass of sugar, 3 eggs, 125 ml of vegetable oil and 250 ml sour milk. Then add bulk products, mix. The dough turns out liquid, pour it onto a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes.
Then I cool the biscuit, cut it into cake layers and coat it with cream or condensed milk.
I know you can make pancakes.
for this you need 800 ml of fat kefir (3.5 percent)
3.5 cups flour
0.5 tsp. salt
3, 5 tbsp. l. Sahara

Fermented milk products should be present in every person's diet. They are able to saturate the body with many useful substances, in particular, protein and calcium, and also help eliminate problems at work digestive tract. Such products are beneficial for children and adults; they are recommended to be eaten by the elderly. But if you accidentally forgot that there is a jar of kefir or a pack of cottage cheese in the refrigerator, then what to do with them? Is it possible to use expired kefir and cottage cheese?
Is it possible to use second freshness kefir??
Many housewives successfully use spoiled kefir in culinary purposes. Quite often there is an opinion that the dough on such a product will be even more tasty than usual. But is there any truth to this?
In order to understand this issue, it is necessary to understand what kefir is and what happens in it. In fact, this product is alive, real life really bubbles in it. Kefir contains more than twenty beneficial bacteria, and when consumed quality product they have a positive effect on the digestive processes and the functioning of the body as a whole. Throughout the entire storage period (usually two weeks), the quality of kefir remains unchanged. The volume of beneficial bacteria only increases, because under-aged kefir is usually sold on sale. Accordingly, when proper storage(following the recommended temperature regime), such fermented milk drink It only gets better - thicker and more saturated with beneficial bacteria.
But after the recommended shelf life expires, the picture begins to change. Beneficial bacteria are already processing all milk sugars (accordingly, the volume of acids increases), they experience nutritional deficiency and begin to eat literally themselves. Therefore, the appearance of pathogenic microorganisms, which are waste products of beneficial microorganisms, is observed in kefir. also in healthy drink the volume of yeast increases and a significant amount of carbon dioxide appears.
Thus, we can easily conclude: you shouldn’t drink expired kefir. However, such a drink can be used to prepare dough. After all, when heat treatment harmful microorganisms are neutralized, and yeast is added finished product more pomp. But it is worth remembering that even for culinary experiments You can only use kefir whose expiration date has recently expired (no more than a few days, a maximum of a week). In the event that, upon opening a drink, you notice mold in it or feel bad smell, throw it away without a second thought. This product cannot even be used to add to dough.
It is worth considering that all of the information listed is relevant only for natural kefir.
Is it possible to use expired cottage cheese??
If we talk about cottage cheese whose expiration date has expired, we can draw an analogy with kefir. There is little useful in such an expired product, but aggressive microorganisms can be actively active. Therefore, nutritionists and doctors strongly do not recommend eating such products yourself, much less offering them to loved ones.
But from cottage cheese that has expired by a day or two, it is quite possible to fry cheese pancakes, prepare a casserole, muffins or some similar dish. There will definitely be no harm from this. And cooked food can be a good source of calcium and protein. But such a recommendation is only possible if the expiration date of the cottage cheese is short, and this product was stored exclusively in the refrigerator.
Of course, if you forgot to take the cottage cheese out of the bag or package and left it room temperature, then it is better to throw it away. The same should be done with cottage cheese whose expiration date is five to seven days or more. After all, excessive delay and improper storage can make the product harmful and result in poisoning.
If you accidentally drink expired kefir or eat expired cottage cheese – what to do??
If you or your child accidentally drank expired kefir or ate expired yogurt, do not panic ahead of time. If such a nuisance happened several hours ago and no unpleasant symptoms have arisen yet, exhale calmly and next time just read the information on the product packaging more carefully. If you have eaten an expired product completely Small child, then even in the absence of any negative symptoms, it is better to consult a doctor.
Expired foods can cause various disruptions in the digestive tract, most often limited to flatulence, bloating, rumbling and discomfort. Possible diarrhea, nausea, vomiting. If a feeling of discomfort or other alarming symptoms appears, you should resort to first aid methods: gastric lavage and consumption of absorbents. If we are talking about a child, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
In some cases, eating expired cottage cheese or drinking kefir can lead to serious food poisoning. In such a situation, it is better not to self-medicate, but to call a doctor or even ambulance. Uncontrollable vomiting, too frequent stools and a pronounced deterioration in health should alert you.
To prevent expired food from harming your health, do not forget to check your refrigerator from time to time and eat food before the expiration date.
