Ingredients
Servings: 12 pancakes
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup olive oil (plus a little extra for the pan)
- 500 g self-raising flour
- 300 g lukewarm water
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled
- 100 g kefalotyri (or Parmesan), grated
- 6 tender spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 tomato, peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Prepare the Vegetables
Finely chop the spring onions along with their green tops and place them in a bowl. Peel and deseed the tomato, then finely chop its flesh and add to the bowl with the onions. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and stir to allow the vegetables to release their flavors. Add the chopped mint and dill.Make the Batter
In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water, mixing well. Gradually add the self-raising flour while stirring, until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.Combine
Fold the vegetable mixture and the cheeses into the batter. Mix gently until well incorporated.Cook the Pancakes
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet, spreading slightly to form round pancakes. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and puffed.Drain and Serve
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter.Serving
Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a side of cool yogurt dip or tzatziki.
Recipe Tips
For extra crunch and a deeper flavor, try adding a tablespoon of sesame seeds to the batter or sprinkling them on top just before frying.
