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 PANCAKES



Zucchini Pancakes image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     easy, quick, side dish

Time 25m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted peanuts
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon Shao-Hsing wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch of white pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 medium zucchini, cut across into thin slices, each slice cut across into thin strips
2 teaspoons peanut oil

Steps:

  • To dry-roast the peanuts, heat a wok or heavy skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Turn the heat very low. Add the nuts and spread in a single layer. Cook, stirring often with a spatula, until the nuts turn brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool. Place the peanuts between 2 sheets of waxed paper and coarsely crush with a rolling pin. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, wine and soy sauce. Add the sugar, salt, pepper and flour and whisk until smooth. Stir in the zucchini and peanuts.
  • Heat the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, spoon in batter and spread it to the rim. Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Run a spatula under the edge of the pancake to loosen. Slide it out onto a large plate. Cover with another large plate, turn it over and slide the pancake back into the skillet and cook the other side until browned, another 1 1/2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Grate the zucchini finely: This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too watery.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini: This will also help prevent the pancakes from becoming too watery and will help them hold together better.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and will make them easier to flip.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Zucchini pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
