Pour boiling water over the dried fruits and let them sit for about 10 minutes.

Separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Mix the egg yolks with kefir, then add the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

Drain the dried fruits and briefly pulse them in a blender or chop them finely.

Combine the yolk batter with the prepared dried fruits.

Whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold them into the main batter using a spatula.

Divide the batter into paper panettone or muffin molds.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 40 minutes, adjusting to your oven and testing for doneness with a toothpick.
