Steps:
- In a medium bowl, dissolve the yeast and the sugar in the lukewarm water.
- To the same bowl, add the flour, the salt, and the egg. Mix well to combine to a smooth batter. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set the mixture aside for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, and if you are making savory pancakes, gently incorporate the crumbled Feta cheese.
- Heat a 12"non-stick skillet and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, spoon about 2 TBSP. of the batter into the pan, forming about a 3" pancake. When the pancakes get a nice color, flip them over. Cook them in batches, about four at a time.
- When they are ready, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels and continue cooking the rest of the pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of warm honey. If you make the sweet version, add some chopped walnuts too. My kids like to top these with Nutella or jam as well!
MEDITERRANEAN LATKES (SAVORY PANCAKES)
Delicious latkes using up many of the ingredients required for the RSC contest (2004). These are very flavorful and, if made slightly smaller, would be a great appetizer with the dipping sauce. Do not be put off by the long list of ingredients, the recipe is MUCH easier to make than it reads.

Steps:
- Whiz together all sauce ingredients in a mini-blender and pour into a small crock; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Bring 3 cups water to the boil in a small saucepan; add brown rice and boil for 30 minutes; add lentils and boil for 20 minutes longer (the mixture will look like porridge); allow to cool (mixture will thicken as it cools).
- Put minced onion, grated sweet potato and zucchini into a colander and toss with 1 tsp salt; allow to drain for ½ an hour; after half an hour, take handfuls of the vegetable mixture and squeeze as much water out as you can from it.
- Place it into a large bowl as you squeeze it dry; add cooled rice/lentil mixture, minced garlic, cheeses, parsley, dill, mint, egg and rye flour; with hands combine very well so that everything is evenly distributed; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before frying.
- Pour enough oil (I used olive) into a large, non-stick skillet to come ¾ of an inch up sides of pan; heat over medium-high heat until small amount of latke mixture put in will immediately come to the surface and fry fairly briskly.
- Take about 2 tbsp of latke mixture at a time, shape into a patty that is about 3 inches in diameter and ½ an inch thick; fry 4-5 minutes; after 4-5 minutes, gently turn patty over and fry other side; as patties turn a deep golden-brown, remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Repeat with remaining latke mixture until all the patties have been fried.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with the sauce.
