Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cabbage, about 3 ½ cups, sliced like coleslaw
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste (up to 1 teaspoon)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, I used GF blend
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅓ cup green onions, sliced thinly
  • ½ cup grated cheese, Monterey, mild cheddar, or mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Slice the cabbage thinly, using a mandoline for even results. Combine all ingredients except oil in a bowl.

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Scoop ¼ cup of the cabbage mixture into the skillet, pressing it down slightly.
  • Cook for 4 minutes per side, flipping until golden brown. Reduce heat or add oil if browning too quickly.
  • Serve hot with sour cream.

Notes

  • Slice cabbage very thin for the best texture; a mandoline works great.
  • Avoid using a food processor for shredding cabbage, as it can make the pieces too fine, causing excess liquid to release and altering the texture significantly. Through my recipe testing, I’ve discovered that the best results come from using a firm, mature cabbage rather than a young, tender one—so that "forgotten in the fridge" cabbage might just be the ideal choice!
  • Adjust heat or add oil if pancakes start to burn.
  • Flip gently for even cooking and avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Cheese is optional—these pancakes are delicious even without it!
