Tasty alternatives
As an alternative to raisins, you can use dehydrated and diced nuts, such as plums, apricots, blueberries, goji berries, etc.
As an alternative to orange, it is also possible to flavor the batter with lemon or tangerine zest.- Combine the tofu cream in a bowl and mix everything with the brown sugar. Add a pinch of salt. Drain the soft raisins from the soaking water and add it to the cream. At this point, add the wholemeal flour, wheat starch and vegetable milk (eg soy milk): mix until a thick batter is obtained.
- As a last ingredient, add the sifted baking powder and mix.
- Pour the peanut oil into a pan and, with the food thermometer, measure the temperature up to 180 ° C.
- With the help of a couple of steel spoons or an ice cream portioner, collect a part of the batter and fry in oil at 180 ° C. Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes, turning them from time to time.
The advice OK
It is advisable to prefer a pan with high sides to make sure that the pancakes have enough space to toss and turn in the oil.
For optimal cooking, it is also recommended to cook a few pancakes at a time: in this way, it will be easier to keep the temperature constant.- Drain the pancakes with a slotted spoon and place on a bowl lined with absorbent paper.
- Sprinkle with finely chopped brown sugar.
