Savory Cabbage Pancakes

Savory Cabbage Pancakes

Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cabbage, finely shredded
    • 1 onion, finely chopped
    • 1 carrot, grated
    • 3 eggs
    • 500 ml kefir or thick yogurt (17 oz)
    • 300 g flour (10.6 oz)
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
    • Salt and black pepper, to taste
    • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

    1. Prepare vegetables: Finely shred the cabbage, chop the onion, and grate the carrot.
    2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs, then stir in 500 ml kefir or thick yogurt.
    3. Add dry ingredients: Sift 300 g of flour and 1 teaspoon of baking soda (or baking powder) into the wet mixture. Stir until smooth.
    1. Combine with vegetables: Fold in the shredded cabbage, onion, and grated carrot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
    2. Fry the pancakes: Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan, flatten slightly, and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
    3. Serve warm: Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions:

    • Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for extra creaminess.
    • Add a side of salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
    • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

Cooking Tips:

    • For a healthier option, bake the pancakes on a greased baking sheet at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
    • Add a handful of grated cheese for an extra savory flavor.
    • If you want a lighter texture, use sparkling water instead of kefir or yogurt.
