Zucchini pancakes are a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that perfectly combines lightness and richness of flavor. This recipe has roots in rural traditions where zucchinis were used to add softness to the batter. The pancakes turn out airy, slightly sweet with subtle notes of fresh dill. They can be served with sour cream, honey, or various sauces, highlighting their versatility. Thanks to the zucchinis, they retain juiciness while a light crispy crust makes them particularly appetizing. These pancakes are suitable for breakfast, a light snack, or even a festive table, adding brightness and flavor diversity to the menu.
