Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 90°C.
  
  In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
  
  Pour the yogurt or kefir into the second bowl, add the eggs, cooled melted butter and mix well.
Step 2
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the wet mixture. Mix thoroughly with a silicone spatula. Don't overmix, or you'll end up with tough, rubbery pancakes.
Step 3
• Heat a large electric skillet or nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add a few drops of vegetable oil and a knob of butter. Once the butter has melted, wipe the pan with a paper towel.
Step 4
• For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup of batter into the pan. Sprinkle each pancake evenly with chopped pecans. Cook the pancakes until bubbles begin to pop on the surface, about 3 minutes. Flip them over and continue cooking until the other side is golden brown, about 2 more minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 5
• Place the finished pancakes on a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep them warm.
  
  Place pancakes on individual plates and serve with syrup.
