Ingredients:

- 1 carrot, grated
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the wild rice, grated carrot, chopped onion, Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Add the baking powder and all-purpose flour to the bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the mixture.
-
Add Eggs:
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine, ensuring that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Heat the Pan:
- Place a frying pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up before proceeding.
-
Oil the Pan:
- Add oil to the heated frying pan, ensuring that the surface is evenly coated.
-
Form the Cakes:
- Using a spoon or scoop, drop mounds of the batter into the pan, spacing them apart to allow for even cooking. Flatten each mound slightly to form cakes approximately 3 inches across.
-
Cook Until Browned:
- Allow the cakes to cook undisturbed until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy. This typically takes around 3-4 minutes.
-
Flip and Cook Further:
- Carefully flip the cakes using a spatula, allowing the other side to cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.
-
Keep Warm:
- Once cooked, transfer the griddle cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Keep them warm while you continue frying the remaining batter.
-
Repeat the Process:
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
-
Serve Hot:
- Once all the griddle cakes are cooked, serve them hot and enjoy their delicious flavors and crispy texture.
These Wild Rice Griddle Cakes are a delightful combination of wholesome ingredients and savory seasonings, making them a perfect addition to any meal. Whether served for breakfast, brunch, or as a tasty snack, they are sure to impress with their irresistible taste and texture. Enjoy!
