Cabbage Cakes

Posted by Carole Koch

3 cups loosely packed, thinly sliced red or green cabbage
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup minced chives

Steam the cabbage until tender; drain well in a colander. In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg, milk, sour cream, and flour. Stir in the cabbage and chives.

Heat a lightly greased nonstick griddle. When hot, give the batter a stir and drop 3 tablespoons of batter for each cake onto the griddle, cooking up to 4 at a time. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, and the cake has browned underneath, about 5 minutes. Using a plastic spatula, turn to brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes more. Repeat, stirring the batter before dropping it onto the griddle, until you’ve used up all of the batter. Transfer to a warm plate and serve.

Makes 6 to 8 pancakes.
