Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry pumpkin pancakes in a frying pan? Prepare your food. The weight of the pumpkin is given already peeled. The amount of flour is approximate, it may take more or less, it depends on how juicy the pumpkin is. In addition to onions, you can also add garlic, depending on your taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash and cut the pumpkin. Peel it; it is more convenient to do this by cutting it into small pieces. Remove the seeds. I have part of the pumpkin without seeds.

Step 3

Step 3
Grate the pumpkin on a medium grater. It is on medium, not on fine, which turns food into puree, that the potato pancakes will turn out more structured, crispier and tastier. Peel the onion and also grate it. I didn’t add the whole onion, but just for flavor, you decide according to your taste. If the pumpkin is very juicy, squeeze and drain the excess juice.

Step 4

Step 4
Salt and pepper the mixture, stir. Beat in the eggs, stir. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

Step 5

Step 5
Add a couple of tablespoons of flour and stir. Next, look at the condition of the dough and add one spoon at a time. If the dough is still liquid, add more flour. It should become quite thick and not runny.

Step 6

Step 6
Heat a frying pan over high heat, pour odorless vegetable oil into it. Spread the dough with a spoon, forming thin pancakes — then they will fry better and faster.

Step 7

Step 7
Fry pancakes until golden brown, then turn over to the other side. Turn the heat to medium so that the potato pancakes are fried. Remove the finished pancakes from the pan; you can place them on a paper towel to absorb excess fat. Add the next batch of dough to the pan, adding a little more oil if necessary. Fry pancakes from the entire dough in this way.

Step 8

Step 8
Serve pancakes hot with sour cream or any sauce. Bon appetit!
