My Secret Fluffy Tofu Pancakes

When I was little, I really loved these pancakes my mother made! This is based off her recipe.

Mix well in Steps 1 and 2, but if you over-mix in Steps 3 and 4 you'll ruin it.

When you feel like maybe it needs to be mixed just a little more, you should stop.

Heat up a frying pan, turn off the heat, and then cool the surface with a wet cloth. Before turning the heat back on, plop the batter into the pan.

If you do it well, they will be about 2 cm thick. A melt-in-your-mouth goodness. Recipe by poma1125

Ingredients

3 servings
  1. 150 gramsSilken tofu
  2. 70 gramsBread (strong) flour
  3. 1Egg (medium)
  4. 30 gramsMilk
  5. 1 tspBaking powder
  6. 1 pinchSugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk the tofu in a large bowl until creamy.

  2. 2

    Add the egg and sugar and mix well with the whisk.

  3. 3

    Add the flour and baking powder and lightly mix in an up and down motion.

  4. 4

    Add the milk and use a whisk to mix it well. (I used a rubber spatula in the picture, but that was just to make it look prettier.)

  5. 5

    Let the batter rest for about 30 minutes. (Add honey, maple syrup, cream cheese, or cream to taste.)

  6. 6

    Heat up a frying pan, turn off the heat, and then cool the surface with a wet cloth. Before turning the heat back on, plop about 1/3 of the batter into the pan.

  7. 7

    Turn on the heat and fry the pancake until the surface starts to bubble. Carefully flip it over, cover with a lid, and continue cooking for 2~3 minutes. (Do not press down)

  8. 8

    Repeat steps 6 and 7 two more times for the remaining batter. If you are using a non-stick pan, you don't need oil.

  9. 9

    Transfer to a plate and enjoy! Serve with butter and honey, butter and maple syrup, maple and cream cheese, cream and custard.

  10. 10

    They're full of tofu, so brown sugar syrup and kinako soy flour would also be a great match! Try out various combinations to find your favorite!
