Greens Latkes

Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 Tbs vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 bunch greens chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a largish bowl (3 quart), mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add the eggs, the 3 tablespoons of oil, and the buttermilk.
  • Mix until incorporated and you have a thick pancake-like batter. Set aside.
  • In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about a tablespoon of oil, and start cooking the onions. Add the greens to the skillet and cook until tender and most of the moisture has evaporated.
  • Scrape the greens and onions into a colander and let cool.
  • Once the greens have cooled, mix them into the batter.
  • Put about 1/4 inch of oil into the skillet and heat on medium until shimmering. Then add the greens batter and fry about 3-5 minutes on a side, or until golden brown and crispy.
