A quick to make and very satisfying recipe for light and delicious Greek pancakes.

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Breakfast, Snack

Time 20m

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

1¼ cups water, lukewarm
½ tsp. yeast
½-1 tsp. granulated sugar
1½ cup AP flour
½ tsp. sea salt
1 egg
½ cup crumbled Greek Feta cheese (for savory pancakes)
--- olive oil
Toppings:
--- warmed honey
--- chopped walnuts (for sweet pancakes)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the lukewarm water.
  • To the same bowl, add the flour, the salt, and the egg. Mix well to combine to a smooth batter. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set the mixture aside for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, and if you are making savory pancakes, gently incorporate the crumbled Feta cheese.
  • Heat a 12"non-stick skillet and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, spoon about 2 TBSP. of the batter into the pan, forming about a 3" pancake. When the pancakes get a nice color, flip them over. Cook them in batches, about four at a time.
  • When they are ready, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and continue cooking the rest of the pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of warm honey. If you make the sweet version, add some chopped walnuts too. My kids like to top these with Nutella or jam as well!

TIGANITES: GREEK MEDALLION PANCAKES / FRITTERS



Tiganites: Greek Medallion Pancakes / Fritters image

Tiganites pronounced tee-ghah-NEE-tess. This recipe intrigued me and I hope to try it when I'm no longer on a diet :). These light, crispy medallion-sized treats are a delight served with honey, Greek grape syrup called petimezi (Zaar doesn't recognize this as an ingredient), syrup or preserves. They can be eaten as a sweet snack, with breakfast, or as a brunch dish. They are favorites during The Great Lent as they contain no eggs or dairy products. The recipe can be vegan depending on your choice of topping. Recipe from about.com
