ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

Categories     side-dish

Time 24m

Yield 10 (3-inch) pancakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 medium zucchini (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons grated red onion
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
6 to 8 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter and vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
  • Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

ZUCCHINI BREAD PANCAKES



Zucchini Bread Pancakes image

When there is an abundance of zucchini in the peak of summer, one of the best uses is to turn it into a quick bread. We've taken that delicious baked good a step further and turned it into pancakes. The batter comes together quickly and you can feel good about eating zucchini for breakfast. Make sure you wring out as much water from the shredded zucchini as possible to prevent the pancakes from getting soggy.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/3 cup walnuts
1 large zucchini (about 12 ounces)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 large egg, at room temperature
Vegetable oil, for the skillet
Salted butter, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F and set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Spread the walnuts in a single layer on another rimmed baking sheet. Bake, shaking halfway through, until toasted and fragrant, about 35 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Do not turn off the oven.
  • Meanwhile, line a medium bowl with a kitchen towel. Grate the zucchini in a food processor using the grater attachment to yield 2 cups (see Cook's Note). Transfer the grated zucchini to the towel-lined bowl and gather the sides to make a bundle. Squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible. Discard the liquid and set the zucchini aside.
  • Whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and kosher salt in another medium bowl.
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla and egg in a large bowl. Stir in the grated zucchini. Fold in the flour mixture until just combined. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil. Ladle 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet to make a pancake (the batter is fairly thick, so you may need to spread it a bit). Make 1 or 2 more pancakes, taking care to space them apart evenly. Cook until the edges begin to brown and bubbles break the surface of the pancakes, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to prepared rack and place in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with salted butter, the toasted chopped walnuts and maple syrup.

ZUCCHINI-POTATO PANCAKES



Zucchini-Potato Pancakes image

This recipe was posted in our local newspaper, and my husband and I thought it sounded good. The recipe is very user friendly with the most work being the shredding of the zucchini and the potato. The work is well worth it though--trust me!

Provided by Ernies Bert

Categories     Potato

Time 45m

Yield 6 pancakes, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large zucchini, about 1/2 pound, ends trimmed
1/2-1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large russet potato, about 1/2 pound, peeled
1/3 cup diced onion
1 large egg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
fresh ground pepper
2 -4 tablespoons sunflower oil or 2 -4 tablespoons olive oil
sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Shred the zucchini into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a medium bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Transfer zucchini to a colander in a bowl and let zucchini drain at least 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes. Using your hands or a towel, squeeze out the excess liquid.
  • Shred the potato into a bowl using the large holes of a box grater.
  • In a bowl, mix together the onion, egg, and flour, and pepper to taste. Add zucchini and potatoes; mix well. Work quickly because the zucchini-potato mixture oxidizes and discolors once hit by the fresh air.
  • Heat 2 to 4 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. When the pan is hot enough to create a small sizzle, ladle the mixture into the pan to form six 4-inch cakes. Fry until golden on the bottom, 7 to 10 minutes. Using a spatula, turn the pancakes over until browned on the second side, about 6 minutes longer.
  • Serve at once with a dollop of sour cream.

Tips for Making Perfect Grated Zucchini Pancakes:

- Choose firm, young zucchini for the best texture and flavor. - Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating blade. - Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated zucchini using a cheesecloth or paper towels. This will help prevent the pancakes from becoming soggy. - Use a non-stick skillet or griddle for cooking the pancakes to prevent sticking. - Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat before adding the batter. - Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet or griddle for each pancake. - Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. - Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Grated zucchini pancakes are a delicious, easy-to-make, and versatile breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are a great way to use up leftover zucchini and are a healthy and nutritious way to start your day. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect grated zucchini pancakes every time.
