Dessert - Zucchini pancakes with carrot and walnut jam by Julia G. - Recipia

These zucchini pancakes with carrot and walnut jam are made from a thick batter, then stacked in layers. Finely grated zucchini and lemon zest make the middle soft, while the jam between the pancakes holds them together in a little cake, thicker than an ordinary pancake and easy to portion. I choose a small zucchini with firm flesh, so I can grate it finely without hitting large seeds. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 18 minutes. Total: 33 minutes. Serves: 4.

Ingredients

200 g zucchini
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
300 ml milk
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
about 200 g flour
1 tablespoon oil
200 g carrot and walnut jam

Preparation

1. Peel the zucchini and grate it finely. Put it in a bowl with the eggs and salt, then mix until combined. 2. Pour in the milk gradually, stirring, then mix in the sugar and lemon zest. 3. Add the flour and stir until you have a batter thicker than ordinary pancake batter. 4. Grease the pan with oil and cook 6 pancakes, about 3 minutes each, turning them when the underside is browned and the surface is starting to set. 5. Stack the pancakes, spreading 2 tablespoons of carrot and walnut jam between each layer.

Notes

Choose a small, firm zucchini; larger ones often have more prominent seeds and release more liquid after grating. If the grated zucchini is very watery, drain it before mixing it into the batter. When turning the pancakes, don't rush: leave one in the pan a little longer if the batter is still shiny in the middle. Serve the little cake with plain yogurt or unsweetened tea. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. For a dairy-free version, you can use 300 ml unsweetened soy drink instead of milk; the pancakes contain gluten and eggs, and the jam contains walnuts.
