Ingredients

• 2 cups Cooked wild rice
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (e.g., vegetable or canola)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked wild rice, flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, and parsley. Stir to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture into the wild rice mixture and gently fold everything together until a thick batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or spoon, scoop the batter and drop it onto the hot skillet, gently flattening the tops with the back of the spoon to form small cakes approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Cook each cake for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip the cakes and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the remaining butter and oil to the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 8

Serve the wild rice griddle cakes warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, applesauce, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Enjoy!
