Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup carrots thinly-sliced into matchstick pieces
- 1 bundle chives chopped into 2-inch sections
- 1/2 tsp table salt
- 1/2 cup water
- 1-2 tbsp olive or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
Instructions
- Combine the egg, salt, and water in a bowl.
- Whisk the egg, salt, and water until well-blended
- Add in the flour and stir until there’s no more lumps.
- The batter should be smooth but not over-mixed to prevent the pancake from becoming tough and battery.
- Prepare carrots and chives
- Place a pan or wok over medium heat and add oil.
- Once the pan starts smoking, place about a quarter of the batter and let it spread, just like when making pancakes for breakfast.
- Place half of the mixed carrots and chives over the batter and wait till it sets. This will take about 2-3 minutes depending on how hot your pan is.
- Once the pancake sets, add in about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter over the veggies and cook for about 20-30 seconds more.
- Cook the pancake on this side for about a minute. For a crispier version, add about ¼ teaspoon baking powder to the mix and decrease the heat so it will be okay to cook each side of the pancake for more than 3 minutes until it becomes crispy. This recipe makes 2-3 6 inch pancakes.
- Slice pancake to wedges and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce!
