Zucchini pancakes are a classic dish of Ukrainian cuisine, easy to prepare and delicious in taste. Light, tender, and airy, they delight with their golden hue and crispy crust. The history of this dish goes back centuries when housewives sought ways to diversify the fasting menu. Zucchini, with its subtle slightly sweet flavor, pairs perfectly with flour and eggs to create a soft texture. The pancakes are served with sour cream, herbs or garlic sauce which makes them even more aromatic. They are suitable for breakfast or a light dinner and their simplicity allows even novice cooks to prepare them. This dish embodies home comfort and summer freshness.
