Preparation
Mix water and flour and stir well.
Beat eggs, add to flour and stir until lumps are gone and batter is smooth.
Mix in the rest of your ingredients.
Mix in cabbage at at the end.
Heat vegetable oil in skillet
The amount of shredded cabbage may seem to be too much, but once it is mixed in well, the cabbage will be coated with the batter and will settle into the mix.
Pour a portion of batter onto the oiled and heated frying pan
Smooth the batter down to form a pancake.
Fry over medium heat.
When the edges start changing color, it is ready to flip.
The process is like making a pancake. The other side should be golden in color.
Note: Try experimenting with different meats, cheeses, vegetables and spice combinations and make it your own.
