Yet another vegetable pancakes recipe. These are usually healthier choice: they contain much less flour (comparing to usually flour-based pancakes) – batter mostly consist of vegetable goodness and, of course, a bit of eggs 🙂
I love cauliflower in any of its appearance, and I consider cauliflower pancakes to be one of the easiest and fun ways to cook it.

These were very good. I did have to add more flour. After the first batch was done I tasted it and added grated Romano cheese to the batter. Yummy! I served them with sour cream and ranch dressing! They were a hit! : )
Thanks :)
very easy and delicious! thank you for sharing!
Have you (or any other commenters) tried freezing these? I am full of good intentions, but actually only manage to cook up stuff like this rarely, so prefer to do a huge batch (I'm already convinced I will like them!) and freeze for convenience. I would be interested to hear if that would work. Thanks!
I think you can freeze them, but I never tired myself.
Hi,
I made it and loved it!
I m not a big fan of cauliflower normally.
Your recipe converted me into one :)
:) Welcome to the club :)
Everything is fantastic except that i don't know how much of salt should i use! :( I'm new to this.. Can you let me know how much should i add in grams :) I'm sorry if this is a stupid question :)
I would start with 1/4 of tea spoon, and progress to 1/2 of tea spoon if you like it more salty.
It is very hard to tell exact amount of salt in any recipe, because ppl like it differently: some like to skip salt all together (I am not one of these), others like it very salty.
Also different kind of salt can be salty in different way. That is why I usually put "Salt to taste" in ingredients list, you would need to try and see what works for you.
I'm going to try a variation of this for waffles, I might play with the contents a bit, but thanks for the inspiration.
Good lord! It's past 3 am in India and I've just discovered your wesbite. I love it so much that I don't want to go to bed. On the other hand, if I go to bed now, I'll be able to try this superb recipe for brunch tomorrow. :D Just wanted to tell you that you're doing a great job and I'll be back to browse for more!
Thank you and welcome to our small community :)
I meant 'website'. You can sense my excitement. :P
is it not good without mayonnaise? if no,what is an another option of that?
You can try sour cream instead, or skip mayonnaise altogether.
I made this today and it tasted very good .thank u ..
Thank you for trying it, I am glad you liked the result :)
Loved these pancakes!!! Made them for supper today. Just added a bit of dill to batter. After frying, placed them in a dish and in the oven for 10 min. These extra 10 min gave them a bit more tenderness. Great recipe!!!
My both hands are totally for adding dill. If you check other recipes here, you will rarely find a recipe which doesn't require dill in it... Maybe I am a dillholic? :)
May be you are...:) I know I am. I love dill. I found your site just recently and made a few dishes using your recipes. You put in so much work in explaining all in details and your photos are wonderful. Waiting for more recipes from you!
Thank you!
