Raw pumpkin pancakes or how to deliciously “get rid” of the fruit

A delicious and original dessert - delicious cinnamon pancakes - can be prepared from ordinary pumpkin. These healthy vegetables are sold from the very beginning of autumn until the end of spring; many summer residents grow them. You can store your pumpkin harvest right in the kitchen, pantry or entryway. The fruits do not spoil and retain their culinary properties for many months.

Pumpkin pancakes fried in vegetable oil are equally enjoyed by adults and children. Even an inexperienced cook can master the technology of preparing a dish; he just needs to follow the recipe and the chef’s recommendations. The presence of a small amount of cinnamon in the dough gives the products a special taste and indescribable aroma.

Choose fruits with bright orange flesh for the dish, as they contain the maximum amount of sugar and carotene, which is beneficial for the body. Pancakes are served piping hot, seasoned with sour cream. Cooled pumpkin pancakes are also delicious and can be eaten instead of cookies or waffles.

wheat flour – 3-4 tbsp. l. (with a slide);
cinnamon (powder) – 1 coffee spoon;
granulated sugar – 1-2 tbsp. l.;
coarse salt – 0.5 tsp;
refined lean oil – 40 ml;
sour cream (for garnishing the dish) – 2 tbsp. l.

Making pumpkin pancakes:

1. Peel the pumpkin from the rough thin skin with a sharp knife. Remove seeds and adjacent vegetable tissue.
