Today, we offer you something completely different – fritters with cabbage that will surprise you with their taste and simplicity of preparation.

Fritters are a traditional dish associated with childhood and home-cooked dinners. They are usually served sweet, with apples, powdered sugar, or jam.

Discover a fantastic trick for delicious fritters – adding cabbage will make them healthier, more filling, and highly original.

Cabbage fritters – a recipe for success

Crispy crust, soft inside, and the aroma of fresh cabbage – all this awaits you in these exceptional fritters. Preparing them is extremely simple, and the final result will certainly delight everyone, even the pickiest gourmets.

Ingredients:

  • 130g of flour,
  • 2 eggs,
  • 175ml of milk,
  • 1 onion,
  • 1.25ml of baking powder,
  • 280g of chopped white cabbage,
  • salt and pepper to taste,
  • oil for frying.

Preparation:

  1. Start by shredding the cabbage and cooking it in salted water until it softens. Then, thoroughly drain it and let it cool down.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the batter for the fritters. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Prepare a smooth batter from the yolks, flour, milk, and baking powder – similar to the one used for pancakes.
  3. Add finely chopped onion and cooled cabbage to the batter. Season with salt and pepper according to your preferences.
  4. Beat the egg whites until stiff, then gently fold them into the prepared batter, giving the fritters lightness.
  5. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Spoon portions of the batter onto the pan, and fry the fritters until golden on both sides, crispy and appetisingly browned.

These cabbage fritters are a great alternative to traditional sweet versions. You can serve them for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack at family or friend gatherings.
