Tired of ordinary zucchini pancakes? Here’s a beautiful and delicious way to make them! These heart-shaped treats are as delightful to look at as they are to eat.
Heart Zucchini Pancakes- 1 zucchini
- 1 small can of Spam
- Pancake mix (as needed)
- 2 eggs (or to taste)
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter (small size)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the zucchini thoroughly and pat it dry. Slice it into rounds about 0.5 cm thick. Slice the Spam to a similar thickness as the zucchini. Cutting the ingredients to a similar thickness will ensure they have a lovely shape and cook evenly.
Step 2
Place the heart-shaped cookie cutter on top of a slice of zucchini or Spam and press down firmly to cut out the heart shape. You can carefully cut around the shape with a knife or cut thin slices using the cutter. If the Spam is too thick, you can slice it in half after cutting the heart shape to achieve a more even thickness. This will help the shapes hold better when frying.
Step 3
Prepare the shaped zucchini and Spam. Lightly and evenly coat one side of the zucchini slices with pancake mix. Then, whisk the eggs in a bowl to create an egg wash. Dip both sides of the pancake-mix-coated zucchini and Spam slices into the egg wash. The egg wash will help the coating adhere and give the pancakes a beautiful golden color when cooked.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Carefully place the heart-shaped zucchini and Spam, coated in egg wash, into the hot pan. It’s best to place them with the side coated in pancake mix facing down first. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the egg is cooked through. Be mindful of the heat to prevent burning. After frying, you can gently dab them with a paper towel to remove excess oil for a lighter taste. These are not difficult to make, but their charming heart shape makes them visually appealing and incredibly popular with both adults and children. You’ll have a delightful batch of heart-shaped zucchini pancakes ready to enjoy! They are perfect for special occasions or to show someone you care.
