How to make Sauerkraut Pancakes Recipe

  1. Begin by thoroughly draining the sauerkraut, ensuring all excess juices are removed. Give it a rough chop to prepare it for the next steps.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk (or water), eggs, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients vigorously until they harmoniously unite. Now, introduce the chopped sauerkraut into the mixture and stir it in, ensuring every morsel is enveloped in the batter.
  3. Next, heat some oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Using a tablespoon as a measuring guide, gently pour the batter onto the pan, leaving ample space between each fritter. Allow them to sizzle and fry for approximately 4 minutes on each side, or until they achieve a glorious golden brown hue.
  4. Once the pancakes have achieved their golden magnificence, transfer them from the pan to a plate lined with paper towels. This will help absorb any excess oil, ensuring their crispness remains intact. Feel free to savor them while still hot or let them cool to enjoy their delightful essence later.
