What is your take on savoury pancakes? Any good alternatives to okonomiyaki?
>>22042843Love them. But I don't make them nearly as much as I would like to unfortunately. Try making some breton galettes au sarrasin (buckwheat pancakes). They're pretty tasty and you can pretty much add whatever you want to them.
>>22042843i like basic ones with cheese and jalapenos, maybe a bunch of scrambled eggs and siracha sauce. pancakes are a nice way to use up eggs too.
>>22042843made a few days ago
>>22042844oh! And how do you make them? What do you usually top them with?
>>22042854You mix buckwheat flour and water at a ~1:1 ratio by volume (add a bit more water if you need to), and for every ~300g of flour you use you should add one egg. Add a pinch of salt and whisk thoroughly and you're good to go, cook it the same way you would cook a crepe, it should be nice and thin like the picture i posted earlier.If you can't get buckwheat flour you can grind pieces of raw buckwheat in a coffee grinder or a high powered blender.I usually just add some ham, cheese, a fried egg and some herbs and spices. But you could also use sausage, fish, roe, cream cheese, anything that would be tasty on toast would work. You can also top them off with sweet stuff (jam, peanut butter, etc.).
>>22042843Indian cuisine has a lot of savoury pancakes. One I make often is Cheela, which is made with chickpea flour. You just mix chickpea flour and water into a batter then add any other ingredients like spinach, tomato, chilli, herbs and spices. Then you just fry it like a pancake.Tastes great and very fast to make for breakfast
>>22042846Spotted the poor tastelet
>>22042843if you have chinese diaspora around you you can probably find jiangbing. basically a thin crepe stuffed with egg, scallion, pickles, chili and hoisin sauce, then rolled up and eaten on the go. really tasty
Solidly ‘ok’. Never had a savory crepe that impressed. Neither was it inedible or unenjoyable. I put it in the same tier as quiche, good once in a while.
>>22042843My father made one full of noodles once it was ok. I couldn't really tell it had noodles inside at first 4/10
>>22043230Yea this has been my experience

>>22042843Kimchi pancakes are very similar to okonomiyaki, and they're very flexible for ingredients. You can eat them with kewpie and bulldog sauce if you likeHere's a good recipehttps://youtube.com/watch?v=19ZyhCpaWUY

>>22042843Do potato cakes count? Also it’s not very pancakey but I like the Taiwanese green onion pancakes at Trader Joe’s>>22042844>>22042852These look very tasty
>>22043012im just not some fancy ass pansy who makes fancy ass looking pansycakes.
>>22042843Made a potato pancake a few weeks back. Served it with sausage gravy. Cheesy pancakes also another viable option. I have made corn bread waffles in the past
