Spaghetti Squash Pancakes from the Sunlight Cafe
- 2 cups spaghetti squash, cooked (directions below)
- 1 cup minced red onion (or yellow)
- 14 cup all-purpose flour (or rice flour)
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- cooking spray
- butter (optional-smart balance margarine is good)
- sour cream or yogurt
- salsa
- ketchup
- tomato jam
- Prepare spaghetti squash:.
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Cut a 3 pound squash in half lengthwise and scoop out all the seeds.
- Bake the halves cut sides down on a lightly oiled baking pan for about 30 minutes, or until the skin can just barely be pierced wih a fork.
- It should be tender but not too soft.
- Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Scoop out the flesh, place it in a strainer over a bowl, and squeeze out enough of the juices to reduce its final volume to 2 packed cups.
- Pancakes:.
- Place the squash in a medium bowl and separate the strands a little with a fork.Continure to use the fork to mix in the onion, flour, and salt, and then beat in the eggs.
- Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- After a minute or so, spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- If you like you may also melt in a little butter.
- When the griddle is hot enough to sizzle a bread crumb, use a 1/4 cup measure with a handle to scoop up batter and pour it onto the hot griddle.
- Cook the pancakes 8-10 minutes on each side, until really golden.
- Unlike cakier pancakes, which toughen when turned repeatedly from side to side, these can be turned more than once, if necessary, without compromising their texture.
- Get them really well done on the outside, and you will have an expuisite chewy crisp result.
- Serve hot or warm, plain or with any of the suggested toppings.
- Enjoy!
