Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry zucchini pancakes with kefir in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. I took a small young zucchini weighing 300 grams, unpeeled. Wash the zucchini in running water, cut off the tail and grate on a coarse grater. You can also grind the zucchini with a food processor or blender. Of course, it is better to take early zucchini without seeds. If you do not have a young zucchini, then peel it and remove seeds.

Step 2

Step 2
Transfer the grated zucchini to a bowl. Let it lie down for a while and let out the juice; if you get a lot of juice, then squeeze out the mass and drain the juice, but not all of it.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat the egg into a small deep container, add sugar and salt and mix everything well with a fork. First wash the egg with baking soda in running water, as there may be harmful bacteria on its surface.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour room temperature kefir and egg mixture into a bowl with zucchini. Stir. It is convenient to do this with a silicone spatula or just a spoon.

Step 5

Step 5
Pour in the flour mixed with soda, sifted through a sieve, and add chopped green onions or dill — I used onions. There is no need to extinguish the soda, as it will be extinguished by kefir. You may need a little less or more flour. Be guided by the consistency of the dough — it should be thick. When the dough is ready, you can immediately start frying the pancakes. Read about the specifics of using soda and the properties of flour in separate articles at the end of this recipe.

Step 6

Step 6
Pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil into a preheated frying pan, heat it a little and place a tablespoon of dough in the form of flat cakes. Fry on one side for about 5 minutes over medium heat, until golden brown. How to choose a frying pan and oil for frying, read the articles at the end of this recipe.

Step 7

Step 7
Turn the pancakes over to the other side and fry for another 5 minutes. Remove the finished pancakes from the pan, add another tablespoon of oil, heat again and fry the next batch. I got 16 small-sized pancakes, these are four frying pans of 4 pieces. Each batch used 1 tablespoon of oil — quite a bit of oil, so the pancakes were not oily.

Step 8

Step 8
Place the pancakes on a paper napkin, although in my case this was not necessary, since they turned out to be completely non-greasy. Serve delicious and simple zucchini pancakes with kefir warm with sour cream or any other sauce of your choice. Bon appetit!
