6 servings

20 minutes

Semolina pancakes with turmeric are an amazing combination of simplicity and depth of flavor. This recipe, rooted in Russian cuisine, takes us to warm home evenings when the aroma of fried dough fills the kitchen. Semolina gives the pancakes a delicate texture, while turmeric adds a golden hue and a hint of spice. Fried in oil until crispy, they make an ideal breakfast or light snack. The slight sweetness of carrots and caramelized onions enriches the taste with layers. These pancakes are great as a standalone dish or with sour cream or fresh herbs.
