These pancakes, loaded with vegetables and protein, make an exciting and interesting supper. They are not at all similar to the fluffy pancakes you serve for breakfast. They are not leavened with baking soda and so are more flat and rich, resembling a fritter. Serve them up with a creamy, spicy, zingy sauce to cut the richness and you’ll receive rave reviews.
