16.09.2019 Desserts and Cakes

Hope I promised lovers of vegetable dishes to put delicious pumpkin pancakes. I spread it, and not even after a year, but only after a couple of weeks. And all because pumpkin helps with sclerosis and selective amnesia (just kidding, just kidding).

In fact, this year I built up pumpkins a lot, so stew-parim-boil-fry-bake-all with a pumpkin every other day, the potato yearns idle in the basement, I’m just somehow uncomfortable in front of it. Yes, dad handed over from his miracle garden under the river several pumpkins the size of a carriage (well, the carriage is not the size of a carriage, but 15-20 kg each). In general, I'm covered in pumpkins for the very tomatoes, s-he-he-he!

My pumpkin pancakes are made quite simply, now I’ll tell you everything step by step.

To create delicious pumpkin pancakes, we need:

  • 600-700g peeled and peeled pumpkin seeds
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 5-6 tablespoons of flour with top
  • 2 teaspoons of sugar (optional)
  • A pinch of salt
  • Cooking Oil

From the specified number of products, 2.5 to 3 large frying pans of pancakes are obtained.

Delicious pumpkin pancakes, recipe:

  1. Beat eggs with a whisk with salt, add sour cream and flour, stir until smooth with the same whisk or blender.
  2. We clean the pumpkin from the skin and bones, weigh the required amount, remove the excess in the bag in the refrigerator (soon we will cook soup from it, so that it will not disappear!).
  3. Three pumpkin on a fine grater. You are not squash a pumpkin, especially later varieties - it will take a little longer to rub it, so we concentrate on the heart chakra and - let's go!
  4. We mix the grated pumpkin with our egg-sour cream mixture, mix it carefully and carefully so that the dough envelops all the pumpkin chips.
  5. We heat the oil in a pan and spread our pancakes with a tablespoon. One spoon with the top - one pancake. If you are aesthetically pleasing even edges, after laying out each pancake immediately adjust its shape with a silicone spatula.
  6. Slowly fry our pancakes on both sides on a fire a little less than average so that the pumpkin can cook and not let out a raw crunch. To the golden color, yeah.

Delicious pumpkin pancakes are ready! Well, of course, sugar can not be put if the pancakes go as a side dish. And, of course, you can put sugar, and more, and rub an apple without a skin into these pancakes. And you can also throw a little cottage cheese in them, if there is nowhere else to attach it. Although in this case, I would advise you to better learn the air curd casserole (I’ll write a recipe soon, I swear!).

I love pumpkin pancakes without any frills, just with fresh natural sour cream, my husband likes them too, and the child said that he saw them in a coffin, with any sauce. Today I talked seriously with him about wholesome and unhealthy foods (of course, we only conditionally have unhealthy foods).

He seemed to be even a little imbued (as far as there you can generally imbued with such topics in 5 years). Because for lunch I even ate a little baked pumpkin with chicken in the oven, and for dinner I put on a good piece of cottage cheese casserole, which I experimented with today in a slow cooker. But the pumpkin with chicken turned out really tasty, it's not vile, sugary gruel for you. Awesome thing. I'll write too soon.

I hope you find my recipes useful.

And, and folk wisdom is for today.

Late autumn, a beautiful pumpkin should come to our tables. Of course, now there is no need to make dishes from it, as once. However, it is impossible to argue that it is a natural vitamin-mineral complex. We all consider her a real Russian vegetable, despite the fact that she came to us only in the 18th century, although she has been familiar to Europe since the 15th century. Columbus brought her from his trip, and she immediately gained popularity, which is still used today. Pumpkin fritters are one of the simplest dishes. Easy to prepare and surprisingly tasty pancakes are loved by children and adults. No matter how frying them they are always eaten to the last. No wonder - a dietary vegetable, or rather, a berry, contains little fiber and organic acids. Its calorie content is only 23 kcal / 100 grams, 90% of it consists of water. Another interesting fact is that it contains 4 times more carotene than in carrots. And although the pumpkin is very satisfying, it is quickly digested. Its pulp is soft or hard, the consistency depends on the degree of ripening, but in any case, pumpkin dishes are prepared quickly and easily.

Pumpkin pancakes can be prepared by all methods known for baking: in a skillet, in a slow cooker, or baked in the oven. The dough can be on soda or yeast - it all depends on your momentary mood. For kneading, kefir or sour cream, an egg and a little flour are most often used.

Recipe 2: Baked Pumpkin Fritters

If you have no time to fry fritters in a pan - use the recipe for baked fritters. The pancakes are unsweetened and non-greasy, the only thing you need to remember when preparing them is to remember to turn over to the other side.

Ingredients: grated pumpkin (1 liter), eggs (3 pcs.), sugar (1 tablespoon), sour cream (15%, or yogurt, 2 tablespoons), soda, flour (about 1.5 cups).

Cooking method

Cover the baking sheet with paper and grease it with a thin layer of oil. Rub the pumpkin and drain the juice from it. Add eggs, sour cream or yogurt, flour, sugar and soda, mix. The dough must be obtained in the form of thick sour cream. We spread it with a spoon at a certain distance from each other, so that spreading, the pancakes do not mix. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then turn over and leave for another 10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. Serve them warm or cold to the table - this is a great addition to a hot first course.

Determine the amount of flour during the kneading process, the dough should be similar to thick sour cream in consistency. Fry the pancakes until golden brown over medium heat. The proportions of pumpkin and apples can be changed, you can also add more sugar - the taste may be slightly different, but the idea is the same. It turns out wonderful pancakes - ruddy and tasty. Fold them in a slide and spread, for example, with jam - you get a wonderful pumpkin cake. Serve with what you like best - jam, honey, sour cream.

And a little more about pumpkin

Pumpkin has always been considered the cheapest vegetable. No wonder even Charles Perrault in his fairy tale made Cinderella a carriage from the most affordable vegetable - pumpkin. In 2010, a record was set for growing this vegetable - farmer Chris Stevens from Wisconsin raised a specimen weighing 821.2 kg. This record has been officially confirmed by Guinness World Records. In his comments, Stevens said that good seeds and soil are enough for a good pumpkin to grow. But that's not all. What gamble people just don't think of! In the USA, for example, pumpkin throwing competitions from mechanical cannons are held. The requirement is quite simple - the fetus should not exceed a mass of 4 kg. To date, the record result is 1351 m.

Almost everyone knows the benefits of pumpkin, but not everyone loves and knows how to cook it. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, plant fiber and healthy pectin. People leading a healthy lifestyle prefer it for low calorie content (only 22 kcal per 100 grams) and a pleasant taste. The product can be consumed raw, stewed, fried, baked.

Useful properties of pumpkin:

  • Improving digestion. It has a positive effect on the digestive system, improves the absorption of “heavy” foods, is quickly processed by the body due to the high content of healthy fiber, and is perfect for anyone who is trying to lose weight.
  • Antioxidant properties. Pulp or juice perfectly remove toxins, toxins and excess cholesterol from the body due to the pectin fibers contained in them.
  • Normalization of blood pressure. It is especially useful for hypertensive patients, since with regular use in food it can reduce and normalize blood pressure.
  • Diuretic and anti-inflammatory effect.

       Since pumpkin is 90% water and contains potassium, it perfectly dissolves sand and stones in the kidneys and bladder, however, in this case it is better to use it raw.

  • Benefits for immunity. Due to the large amount of vitamins contained, pumpkin is a valuable helper in maintaining immunity. In addition, a long shelf life allows you to use it fresh all winter and spring.

Unfortunately, not all adults and children love such a useful product, so it is important to cook it correctly and tasty. One option is pumpkin pancakes - a quick and simple breakfast or snack for the whole family.

The subtleties of cooking delicious pumpkin pancakes

If the pumpkin flesh is harsh and raw it can not be used, the vegetable is pre-stewed or steamed. Boil a pumpkin in water to make fritters is undesirable. But the best option would be to bake the vegetable in the oven under the foil. Thanks to this, the pumpkin will become softer, sweeter, more aromatic.

When combined with salt and sugar, chopped pumpkin pulp gives off a lot of juice. This must be taken into account when mixing the dough. It is recommended not to clog the dough with flour, but drain the juice and squeeze the pulp before mixing with the rest of the ingredients.

Pumpkin fritters dough can be made without flour. Instead of this essential ingredient, semolina is used. After mixing all the ingredients, such a dough should be left alone for 20-30 minutes so that the semolina is well swollen.

In taste, the sweet orange vegetable goes well with apples, dried apricots, cottage cheese, hard and soft cheeses, zucchini, carrots, onions, chicken mince. Low-calorie diet pancakes are cooked in the oven with the addition of oatmeal.

For flavor, garlic, spices (turmeric, cinnamon, rosemary, nutmeg, vanillin, ginger, saffron) are added to the dough.

In the summer, when it is difficult to find a fresh pumpkin, you can use frozen vegetables in the fall or canned vegetables to make pancakes.

Important! For all its beneficial properties and high palatability, pumpkin has contraindications. An orange vegetable and dishes from it should be excluded from the diet for people suffering from diabetes mellitus, gastritis with low acidity, a duodenal ulcer, and a stomach.
