List of Ingredients

8 cups coarsely grated raw turnips

About 10 good-sized radishes, coarsely grated

10 eggs [this was too much for the sliced turnips but would be about right for grated ones]

6 Tablespoons wheat bran (only 4.5-3 =1.5g per TB!)

1 tsp black pepper (or to taste)

1-2 tsp salt (or to taste)

[Note: exact proportion of ingredients will vary depending on your preferences and differences in the ingredients. Adjust as needed.]

Olive oil (I used about .5 liters...I think)


Recipe

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl.

Heat oil in a large flat-bottomed pan or griddle.

Spoon the raw latkes on to the hot oil (one pancake = about one scoop from a spoon-shaped spatula). Don't overcrowd.
Shape the pancakes to be even and round.

Cook on medium or medium-high heat until dark golden brown on one side.

Flip and repeat on the other side. If they aren't golden brown, you need more oil. Use a flat slotted spatula to remove finished latkes on to a plate with a paper towel on it.

Add more oil in-between each batch.

Makes around 20 3-4" pancakes.
