Carrot Pancakes
Whenever I need a quick dinner option, I turn to this recipe. On hectic days, my family looks forward to carrot pancakes with great anticipation. They're an excellent way to use extra carrots and add more vegetables to your meals.
The addition of cheese not only adds flavor but also creates a delightful texture as it melts. I'm confident that anyone who tries these pancakes will love them. They're straightforward to make and sure to please both children and adults alike.
Ingredients:
- 12.3 oz of carrots before peeling,
- 1-2 cloves of garlic,
- 2 eggs,
- 3 heaping tablespoons of wheat flour,
- 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs,
- 3 tablespoons of grated yellow cheese,
- salt, pepper, and a pinch of turmeric,
- oil for frying.
How to prepare:
- Peel and grate the carrots using large or medium holes of a grater.
- Add the eggs, flour, pressed garlic, breadcrumbs, grated cheese, and seasonings to the grated carrots. Mix well.
- Heat oil in a frying pan. Spoon the batter into the pan and fry both sides until the pancakes are golden brown.
- Place the fried pancakes on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. This helps make them lighter.
Serve the pancakes with your favorite accompaniments, such as sour cream, natural yogurt, ketchup, or garlic sauce. Crumbled feta cheese also pairs wonderfully with them. Enjoy!
