These pancakes reminded me of latkes; in fact, some sour cream on top would have been very good. I followed the recipe as written, except that I replaced the orange juice with water.

The combination of flavors and textures was interesting, and I liked the crunch of the bulgur and walnuts. While I enjoyed these for a meal, they didn’t ‘wow’ me. And since the recipe is labor intensive, I probably won’t make them again.
