Advice
Be prepared that you may need more or less flour than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired batter consistency.
Preparation
Step 1
Choose younger cabbage to reduce cooking time and ensure tender pancakes. I used parsley, but you can also use dill or cilantro.
Step 2
Finely shred the cabbage, knead it well with your hands, and transfer it to a large bowl. Add salt so the cabbage releases its juice faster.
Step 3
Wash and peel the carrots, then grate them using a fine grater. Peel the onion and garlic, and chop them finely. Use a garlic press if preferred.
Step 4
Wash and dry the greens thoroughly, then finely chop them.
Step 5
Add the chopped vegetables and herbs to the cabbage and mix thoroughly - preferably with your hands for better uniformity.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with salt and pepper using a whisk.
Step 7
Add the beaten eggs to the vegetable mixture and mix well. Then sift in the flour and mix again thoroughly.
Step 8
Check the consistency of the pancake batter. If it's not uniform enough, use a blender for a few minutes. The batter should be slightly thick and sticky.
Step 9
Heat a skillet with vegetable oil over medium heat. Spoon the batter into the pan, forming round or oval pancakes.
Step 10
Fry the pancakes over medium heat for a few minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side. Place finished pancakes on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with sour cream or your favorite sauce. They taste similar to zucchini fritters and can also be enjoyed cold - especially with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!ally with mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
