Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb zucchini
1 egg
1 garlic clove
1/2 c flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
to taste salt
to taste fresh dill, optional
oil sufficient for pan frying

Steps:

  • 1. Wash zucchini (or you can use any kind of squash), if they have seeds, remove them, skin them and grate on the grater, medium slots. Add some salt, mix everything, and leave for about 10 minutes.
  • 2. If there is a lot of liquid in the zucchini mix, remove it. Add fresh chopped dill (if you like), one egg and pressed garlic, mix everything.
  • 3. Add flour to the mixture, start with ½ cup of flour and mix dough. If you see you need to add more flour for consistency, do that.
  • 4. Warm the frying pan with oil in it over the medium heat. Take dough with a spoon and put some of it on the warmed up frying pan forming a small pancake. Fry pancake 1-2 minutes on each side till golden color. And repeat the same procedure for the rest of the dough you have left.
  • 5. Zucchini pancakes are ready! Serve them warm with sour cream or mayonnaise for lunch or as an appetizer. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a large bowl to mix the batter. This will give you plenty of room to stir and prevent the batter from splattering.
  • Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. This will create thin, long strands that will cook evenly.
  • Squeeze the grated zucchini well to remove excess moisture. This will help the pancakes to stay crispy.
  • Add a little bit of flour to the batter if it is too wet. This will help to thicken the batter and prevent the pancakes from falling apart.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. This will help to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
  • Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, yogurt, or applesauce.

Conclusion:

Russian zucchini pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
