Fluffy Vegetable Savory Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric (optional, for color)
  • 1 cup shredded vegetables (e.g., zucchini, carrots, cabbage)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions or onions
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, or chives)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter (plus more for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and turmeric.
  2. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk and oil or melted butter.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed (do not overmix).
  4. Fold in the shredded vegetables, scallions, and herbs.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
  6. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, spreading gently.
  7. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
  9. Serve warm with yogurt, sour cream, chutney, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Optional toppings: a dollop of Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of chili flakes, or a fried egg on top.
