Pumpkin pancakes will please both those who are trying to fill their diet with healthy dishes, and those who just love to eat tasty. A compromise, in general! Fritters contain an incredibly healthy pumpkin, rich in vitamins A, C, D, E, as well as iron, potassium and copper. In addition, it contains a lot of fiber, which has a beneficial effect on the digestive system, removes harmful substances and improves metabolism in general. And pumpkin is quite sweet, so sugar in the dough, in principle, can not be added at all. Pumpkin pancakes turn out to be less high-calorie than regular ones, so even those who follow the figure may well include them in the menu.

How to cook Pumpkin fritters

Step 1

Prepare the dough for pumpkin fritters. Wash pumpkin pulp, dry and grate into a bowl on a coarse grater. You can grind in a blender equipped with a special nozzle.

Step 2

Sift flour for pancakes. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with sugar and salt. Pour in kefir. Beat again thoroughly with a whisk until a mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained.

Step 3

Add the sifted flour to the egg mass and mix well with a large whisk or a tablespoon. The result should be a smooth dough.

Step 4

Add the coarsely grated pumpkin and toss until it is evenly distributed over the pancake batter. Leave the dough at room temperature for a minute.

Step 5

Place a large frying pan about 26 cm in diameter over medium heat. Pour in a couple of tablespoons of oil and heat it up. Scoop the pancake batter in small portions with a tablespoon and fry until golden brown.

Step 6

Turn pumpkin fritters over. Fry until golden brown on the other side. Thus, prepare pancakes from the remaining dough. It can be served with thick sour cream or natural yogurt.
