How to Make Celery Leaf Egg Pancakes

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

First, gather your ingredients: 1 cup fresh celery leaves (finely chopped), 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup milk, 1 small onion (minced), salt, and pepper to taste. Optional additions include grated cheese or a pinch of dried herbs for extra flavor.

Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the celery leaves. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well combined. Add the flour, minced onion, salt, and pepper, then mix into a smooth batter. Fold in the chopped celery leaves, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, spreading it into a thin circle. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the edges set and the bottom turns golden. Flip carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes until both sides are lightly browned and the center is cooked through.

Serve hot, either on its own or with a dollop of yogurt or a side salad. These pancakes are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner, offering a crispy texture and a fresh, herbaceous flavor. Enjoy your homemade celery leaf egg pancakes!
