Semolina instead of flour: A new way to make light zucchini puffsUsing semolina instead of wheat flour fundamentally changes the structure of zucchini pancakes, turning a heavy dish into light, porous puffs. Combine the squeezed zucchini with kefir, semolina, egg, salt, and spices. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the semolina to swell and absorb moisture, which prevents grainy textures in the finished dish. Ingredient Recommendation Zucchini Must squeeze out juice Kefir Best at room temperature Semolina Completely replaces flourCooking tip: If kefir is unavailable, use ryazhenka or unsweetened drinking yogurt. If using frozen zucchini, they must be squeezed more thoroughly than fresh ones due to increased moisture content.
