Description
Deliciously crispy pancakes made from finely shredded cabbage, perfect for a snack or a light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Start by shredding the cabbage finely. You can use a sharp knife, box grater, or food processor for this step.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to soften.
- After 10 minutes, gently squeeze the cabbage with your hands or use a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This helps to keep the pancakes crispy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chopped green onions.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold the squeezed cabbage into the batter, ensuring that the cabbage is evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is hot, drop 1/4 cup of the cabbage batter onto the skillet, pressing it down slightly to flatten.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with additional oil for each batch.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the crispy cabbage pancakes hot, with your choice of dipping sauce or toppings.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the cabbage as possible to achieve a crispier pancake.
- Experiment with different dipping sauces to find your favorite pairing.
