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!

These pancakes were a bit too expensive to make. I think I would try a more affordable recipe next time.

These pancakes were a bit too thick for my taste. I think I would make them thinner next time.

These pancakes were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs and spices next time.

I was skeptical about these pancakes at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. They were very flavorful and had a nice crispy texture. I will definitely be making these again.

These pancakes are so easy to make and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can use up zucchini from my garden and they are also a great way to get my kids to eat their vegetables.

These zucchini pancakes were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavor was amazing. I'll definitely be making these again.
