I used to think of the common pancake as smothered in syrup or eaten
with fruits, chocolate, jam or confectioner’s sugar. Recently, I
decided to try something new- savory pancakes. I got this idea, from my
friend, who was serving delicious savory pancakes on one of her
birthday parties.
Encouraged by the great taste of savory pancakes, I wanted to find the recipe which suits my tastes the best. I find this recipe quite easy to make and to customize. These tasty savory pancakes are perfect at any time of day. Moreover, they are nutritious. The batter is made of eggs, milk, flour and baking powder. I added some carrots, zucchini and scallions to my pancakes, but you can add any type of vegetable to your savory pancakes. Remember that some vegetables have to be cooked first.
Ingredients:
1 egg
½ cup flour
¼ cup milk
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup grated carrots
2 small scallions, diced
¼ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil
Sour cream (if desired)
How to make savory pancakes:
Take a large bowl, and stir together flour, salt, pepper and baking powder
Take another bowl and whisk the egg and milk. Then, stir the carrots, scallions and zucchini to the milk mix.
Next, add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and combine thoroughly.
Take a large skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot enough, spoon the batter onto the pan. Use about 1/3 cup of batter of each pancake. Cook pancake for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Put the pancakes on the plate and let them cool down for a while. When they are ready to eat, roll them up.
Serve pancakes with a sour cream for a better taste.
