Ingredients:
- 2 zucchinis
- 3 eggs
- A handful of spring onions
- A handful of dill
- 100 grams of your favorite cheese
- 4 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 to 5 tablespoons of sour cream for serving
- 1 cucumber for garnish
- 2 garlic cloves
Instructions:
- Vegetable Prep: Begin by rinsing the zucchinis. Grate them coarsely into a mixing bowl. Finely slice the spring onions and dill. Mince the garlic cloves, and dice the cucumber into small pieces for a side salad or garnish.
- Create the Batter: In the bowl with the grated zucchini, crack the eggs. Add the finely sliced spring onions, chopped dill, and shred the cheese into the mix. Stir these ingredients together until they’re well combined.
- Adding Dry Ingredients: Over the wet mix, sift in the flour and baking powder. Season the batter with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking. Stir the mixture until it’s just combined, making sure not to overmix.
- Cooking the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, use a ladle to pour batter onto the skillet, forming small pancakes. Cook until they’re golden brown on each side, flipping once, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Sour Cream Garlic Sauce: While the pancakes are cooking, prepare a dipping sauce. Combine the sour cream with the minced garlic, adding a pinch of salt to taste. Mix well until smooth.
- Serving: Serve the warm zucchini pancakes with a dollop of the sour cream garlic sauce and a side of the diced cucumber.
- Enjoyment: Dig into these savory pancakes, perfect for any meal of the day. They offer a delightful mix of fresh flavors and textures, making them a hit for both kids and adults alike.
