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 box grater with large holes to grate the zucchini. This will create long, thin strands that will help the pancakes stay together.
  • Squeeze the grated zucchini in a colander to remove excess moisture. This will help prevent the pancakes from being too watery.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat before cooking the pancakes. This will help prevent them 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, dill, or smoked salmon.

Conclusion:

Russian zucchini pancakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve for a brunch, Russian zucchini pancakes are sure to please everyone at the table.
