Savory Pancakes


This is one of my favorites. It is easy, healthy and tasty. I often add sweet potatoes (yams) instead of zuchinni. If you usually use a premade pancake mix just use it and add the veggies.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup grated zucchini
2 small scallions, diced
Vegetable oil
Sour cream and salsa (optional)
1. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk, then stir in the carrots, zucchini, and scallions. Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and combine thoroughly.
3. Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. When the oil is hot, spoon the batter into the pan, about 1/3 cup per pancake, and cook the pancakes for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more oil to the pan as needed.
4. Remove the pancakes from the pan. Once they're cool enough to touch, roll them up and use a toothpick to secure each one if needed.
5. Serve the pancakes warm with a side of sour cream and salsa, if desired. Makes 5 rolls.
