Preparation Time

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10-14 minutes
  • Total Time: 20-24 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3-4 eggs
  • 1/8 cup chopped fresh dill
  • 1/3 tsp. salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. oil (I used grapeseed oil)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage:
    • Cut the cabbage thinly, like you would for coleslaw, and place it into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Ingredients:
    • Add the eggs, salt, and chopped dill to the cabbage. Stir well to combine.
    • Add the flour and stir again until the mixture is well combined and holds together.
  3. Cook the Pancake:
    • Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • Add the cabbage mixture to the skillet, flattening it with a spoon to about 3/4 – 1-inch thick.
    • Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown.
  4. Flip and Continue Cooking:
    • Carefully flip the pancake with the help of a plate and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, until it is cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
  5. Serve:
    • Remove from the skillet and serve hot. Enjoy as is, or with a side of sour cream or yogurt.

Notes

  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: To prevent sticking and breaking apart, a non-stick skillet is essential for this recipe.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh dill provides the best flavor for this dish. Avoid using dried herbs as they won’t give the same fresh taste.
  • All-Purpose Flour: This recipe works best with all-purpose flour for binding. For a gluten-free option, you can use a gluten-free flour blend, but the pancake may not hold together as well.

Tips for Making Cabbage Pancakes

  • Ensure the cabbage is thinly sliced to ensure even cooking.
  • Press the pancake mixture firmly in the skillet to help it hold together.
  • Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference, adding more salt or herbs if desired.

Nutritional Benefits

  • Cabbage: A low-calorie vegetable rich in vitamins C and K, and fiber, which aids in digestion.
  • Eggs: Provide high-quality protein and essential vitamins and minerals.
  • Dill: Adds flavor and is a good source of vitamins A and C.

Dietary Information

  • Vegetarian: This recipe is suitable for vegetarians.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version.

Storage Tips

  • Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
