Instructions
Step 1
A simple and quick dish is zucchini pancakes. Peel the zucchini from the skin and seeds. Grate vegetables on a coarse grater, squeeze the resulting mass with your hands to remove excess liquid. Chop the dill and parsley finely.
Step 2
Put the grated vegetables in a bowl, add eggs, salt, soda and flour, mix everything thoroughly. Pour chopped herbs into the mixture, add black ground pepper if desired. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet and spoon the pancakes out, making sure they are the same size and not too large. Place the finished products on a plate and keep warm until serving. Serve them on portioned platters and eat with sour cream.
Step 3
Pancakes can be prepared not only from fresh, but also from canned vegetables. Open a can of canned sweet corn, drain the liquid. Peel small bell peppers and chop finely. In a deep bowl, combine eggs with milk, add flour, paprika powder, salt, baking soda, ground black pepper, chopped bell peppers and corn. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Spoon the pancakes and bake them for about 5 minutes on both sides, until golden brown. Place the finished items on a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess fat. Serve as a side dish with fried chicken or meatballs.
Step 5
For dessert, you can make sweet carrot pancakes with apples and raisins. Sort out the raisins, rinse and soak for 15 minutes. Peel the carrots, cut into large pieces and place in a saucepan. Cover vegetables with water and cook until carrots are tender. Drain the water, place the root vegetables in the bowl of a food processor and chop until puree.
Step 6
Peel and seed the apples and cut into small cubes. Spoon the carrot puree into a bowl, add the egg, kefir, sugar and flour. Stir well and pour the apple cubes and raisins into a bowl. Heat a skillet with butter. Spoon the dough out and bake the pancakes until golden brown. Serve drizzled with butter, apple jam, or honey.
