"These are pancakes my mother used to make. We never really measured out any of the ingredients, but I've tried to include measurements to the best of my ability."

My family and I really, really enjoyed these. Served with an asian kabob and white rice but could stand on its own with just some rice. Used one of the korean dipping sauces to accompany it. My mix was a little wet with 2T of flour so ended up adding more like 6T of flour to form balls. Also, made ahead (2 hours) and put in refridgerator which allowed the balls to firm up a bit and release a little more water. Thanks

Yummy vege cakes!!!! Increased the amount of flour to 5 tbsp because the zucchini and potatoes are very wet and i think the potatoes are not large but gigantic. 1 tbsp salt for gigantic potato and 1 tsp pepper. My husband says delicious!! very good! after every bite. Thanks for the recipe. will make again.

We always called them Korean pancakes. They were as much as a staple on our table as kimchi. Thanks!
