Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked wild rice
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, and parsley. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the wild rice mixture and gently fold everything together until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or spoon, scoop the batter and drop it onto the hot skillet, gently flattening the tops with the back of the spoon to form small cakes approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
Cook each cake for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the cakes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the remaining butter and oil to the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the wild rice griddle cakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Enjoy!
