Summer Squash Pancakes

Summer Squash Pancakes
This recipe rocked! I can't wait to make it again with zucchini.


2 medium summer squash (about 3/4 pound)
1/2 medium onion, grated
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

Mix the flour, cheese, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Combine the eggs, onion and squash in a separate, medium bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.

Heat a skillet with olive oil. Spoon batter by 1/4 cupfuls into hot pan. Cook until evenly brown on both sides.

I served these as a side dish. They were moist and delicious, not needing any type of topping.


SUPER FAST AND SEVEN YEAR OLD APPROVED!


Tips & Comments
Unlike pancake batter, this will get thinner the longer it sits. If it gets too thin add up to 2 tablespoons of flour.

There's a lot of room to change things up with this recipe. Other great veggies that would be good include carrots and potatoes.

Have a leftover burger or sloppy joes? Try mixing them in to create an all-in-one meal.

Great idea to use up some extra squash! The parmesan cheese sounds great in this.

I would love this, also, with butternut squash. This is a great idea to make a healthy pancake. Thanks for linking this to My Meatless Mondays.

Yum yum yummy! I just tried a Mark Bittman Zucchini pancake recipe that did not contain as many eggs and so you had to make it more like a burger patty. Your's look so much easier to handle and I will certainly be trying it. Thanks for sharing on the hearth and soul hop this week! Alex@amoderatelife

Made a recipe years ago calling for packaged biscuit mix, this is great and completely from scratch. Thanks so much.

Great looking pancakes - this looks like Sunday night supper to me with some crispy bacon and oven roasted tomatoes.

Oh, so do you think these would hold up if you used them as buns to the sloppy joes?? That sounds really, really good actually! Thanks so much for sharing this with the hearth and soul hop this week, Julie. I think I'm done w/ the summer squash for the year, but I'm definitely saving it to try as soon as I get some next season =)

I had thought that my summer squash were finished for the year because some leaf mold had taken over. But in the last few days, they've taken on a lot of new growth. And just this morning, I picked four fresh yellow squash. So it seems like happy timing that you should share this recipe with the Hearth and Soul hop. Thanks!

I love veggie pancakes, I have never used yellow squash, hmm, obviously that needs to be changed! Thanks for linking this to the hearth and soul hop!
