- Prepare the Vegetables:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, grated carrot, chopped onion, and minced garlic (if using).
- Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Toss the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This helps to soften the vegetables slightly and allows some of the excess moisture to release.
- Make the Pancake Batter:
- Add the beaten eggs to the vegetable mixture.
- Sprinkle in the flour and baking powder, then add the chopped dill (or parsley) if desired.
- Stir everything together until just combined. The mixture should be well bound but not overly wet. If it seems too moist, add a tablespoon more flour.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture for each pancake, gently flattening them with a spatula.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until each pancake is golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
