Sweet zucchini pancakes are a delicate and airy dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for breakfast or a light snack. The history of these pancakes is linked to traditional village recipes where housewives used seasonal vegetables to create simple and tasty treats. Grated zucchini mixed with flour, egg, and milk creates a soft batter that turns golden and aromatic when fried. The sweet flavor is enhanced by the addition of sugar, while sour cream adds extra creamy tenderness when served. These pancakes are easy to prepare and can be a great option for those looking to enjoy a healthy and pleasant treat. They can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with fresh berries and honey to enhance sweetness and richness of flavor.
