Zucchini pancakes with sour cream-garlic sauce are a traditional Russian dish filled with the warmth of home cooking. Light and airy, they have a delicate zucchini flavor that gains softness and an appetizing texture when combined with corn starch and wheat flour. Fried to a golden crust, the pancakes become crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sour cream-garlic sauce adds zest: the rich aroma of fresh garlic and Russian herbs harmoniously complements the creamy freshness of sour cream. These pancakes are perfect for a hearty breakfast or a light dinner. They can be served as a standalone dish or as a side to meat. The fragrant combination of ingredients makes them a favorite dish for many generations, and the cooking process is simple and accessible to everyone.
1
Grate three zucchini on a large grater (although I think it would be better on a fine one, but then everything needs to be grated finely, and I won't have the patience for that).
- Zucchini: 3 pieces
2
We drain the excess liquid.
3
Whisk 3 eggs separately (I had C1). Add them to the zucchini.
- Chicken egg: 3 pieces
4
Add 2-3 tablespoons of starch (in my case - corn), 6-7 tablespoons of wheat flour (sifted). After mixing, you can determine if more flour is needed. Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder. I thought about adding cheese, but I didn't want to make dinner heavier.
- Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons
- Wheat flour: 6 tablespoons
5
We fry immediately in a hot pan with vegetable oil.
- Green sweet pepper: 3 pieces
6
For the sauce, we wash and dry the herbs (I think Russian herbs like dill, parsley, and green onion are suitable). Chop finely and mix with sour cream. Add a lot of freshly ground pepper and salt to taste.
- Fresh herbs: 50 g
- Sour cream 20% fat: 200 g
- Salt: to taste
- Ground black pepper: to taste
7
We clean the garlic and squeeze it into the sauce bowl.
- Garlic: 2 cloves
8
Mix sour cream, herbs, and garlic in a sauce bowl. Remember, garlic is the vegetable of friendship. Suitable for everyone! :-)
