How to Make Celery Leaf Egg Pancakes

Celery leaf egg pancakes are a quick, nutritious, and delicious dish that turns leftover celery leaves into a delightful meal. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to making them.

First, gather your ingredients: 1 cup fresh celery leaves (finely chopped), 2 large eggs, 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup water or milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions, garlic, or grated cheese.

Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the celery leaves. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the flour, water/milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Fold in the chopped celery leaves and any optional ingredients.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of oil or butter. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly into a thin circle. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges set and turn golden. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are lightly browned and the center is cooked through.

Serve the pancakes hot, either on their own or with a side of yogurt, sour cream, or a drizzle of soy sauce. They make a perfect breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. Enjoy your homemade celery leaf egg pancakes!
