Veggie Pancakes

EasternCook's Note:

This is my take on vegetable pancakes, inspired by other recipes I've seen out there. I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, so I used cauliflower instead. I'm sure zucchini would make a good replacement or maybe even cabbage. And I used a mix of red and green peppers which turned out great. Experiment and have fun with it. This turned out to be an easy way to get my picky 3 year old daughter to eat some veggies. And I found that it had a nice comfort food taste, yet was very healthy. A welcome bonus! Also, I am avoiding wheat, so I used spelt flour here and it worked out very well. Feel free to offer any variations or suggestions ... I'm new to putting recipes together. :-) March 27, 2008
