This is a great vegetarian pancake, easy to make and is delicious. This recipe was passed to my Mother over 100 years ago and has been a favorite of the families.

SERVES 4 , 16 pancakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Wash and shred zucchini on a fine shredder (DO NOT PEEL).
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; add shredded zucchini and mix well using a fork.
  3. 3
    Add flour, sugar, salt and olive oil and stir well to blend.
  4. 4
    Finally, add baking powder and mix using a spoon (Batter consistency should be like heavy whipping cream).
  5. 5
    Preheat griddle to 425- 450°F.
  6. 6
    If using a heavy duty frying pan, heat to medium-high heat; adjust heat if necessary.
  7. 7
    Rub grill or frying pan with oil before cooking each batch of pancakes.
  8. 8
    Spoon batter onto hot griddle (about 2 tablespoons for each pancake).
  9. 9
    Cook until bubbles on the top of the pancake almost stop, about 1 1/2 minutes; turn pancake over and continue to cook for another 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until pancakes are done.
  10. 10
    When done, rub pancakes with melted butter and place in a preheated 250 F oven to keep warm until the remainder are cooked, or serve immediately.
  11. 11
    Serve with your choice of jams or syrups.
  12. 12
    Also very good with sour cream or yogurt along with your choice of jams or syrups, or you can eat them just plain.
  13. 13
    These pancakes are delicious for breakfast, brunch or just as a snack anytime.

Wow! I am really blown away. I had all this shredded zuke and was looking for what to do with it. My daughter does not like zucchini but she loves pancakes, so I gave this recipe a go. Love them, love them, love them...and so does my daughter! They are eggy...my first bite reminded me of popovers..they have a very similar eggy flavor. We ate them with butter and syrup, but they are delicious plain, too! By the way, my zuke was grated with the large hole grater with my food processor...I was afraid it wouldn't be fine enough, but they worked perfectly. Later I experimented and replaced 1/4th of the zuke with the chopped/seeded/drained meat of my garden tomatoes. Also added 1/4 cup grated feta and some chopped crispy bacon. They tasted like denver omelettes and were very tasty, too. Anyway, they inspired me to experiment, so that was fun. I saw another recipe, almost identical that calls for grated parm. cheese, so I may try that too.

    I am going to give them only four stars because I am the only one who liked them. They were delicious plain. I will be making them just for me again! Thanks for sharing!

    I wish I could give this one 10 stars. What a great recipe! We loved it. I adapted it for a diabetic using semolina flour (low glycemic index) and Splenda. The mixture was made the night before having it for breakfast and it held up perfectly. The non-diabetic had it with maple syrup and the diabetic had a blueberry sauce. What a great way to use up the garden zucchini, too. I'm putting this recipe on the "regular rotation." Thanks for posting it!

    These little pancakes were marvelous. I made them as you suggested, Uncle Bill, and served with sour cream and ranch dressing as appetizers. I can see myself using this recipe often this summer when the zucchini is is fresh from the market. Thanks for sharing a simply divine recipe.
