Zucchini Pancakes

I prepared pancakes from zucchini, but they are also good prepared of any other kind of summer squash or even mix of them.

Soft and tender vegetable pancakes, they are easy and very fast to do. Perfect dish for breakfast or lunch, or for any other “hunger feeding” quick food break.

Odds are your kids will love them (even though they consist of pure vegetables)!

Ingredients:


How to make, step-by-step:

  1. You can use any other type of summer squash, pattypans or yellow summer squash, instead of zucchini, or combine different kinds of them. Also you may vary amount of dill and garlic to taste:

  5. Warm the frying pan with oil over moderate heat. Take a bit of dough with table spoon and ladle it on the warmed up frying pan to get a small pancake. Fry the pancake on each side for about 1-2 mins (till golden skin). Repeat the same procedure for the rest dough:

Why baking soda? It sounds like its not good to use for baking and cooking! Can it be replaced with baking power perhaps? your recipe looks delicious!

I have made this recipe several times and it is always a hit. However, I cannot seem to dehydrate the zucchini enough – I would like to get them a bit more crispy. Any suggestions?

I just made this and my husband and I loved it! Followed recipe but did not use any dill since that was not available. I noticed that my batch was slightly salty but used Greek non-fat yogurt with Srirachia sauce (instead of sour cream) to counter act it. Great recipe and it is a KEEPER! Thank you….

This looks very good, however, it is not “pure vegetables” since it has flour and egg in it.
