Plantain Pancakes (Vegan)
Plancakes? Which would be ironic, as there was no plan. The plantain I used was VERY black. I almost considered throwing it out because it was so black.
I used the liquid from a tin of pigeon peas in place of an egg, but I think you could use liquid from kidney beans or pinto beans etc. (Or an egg, if you are boring)
Given that I was just throwing ingredients in a bowl without much of a plan, I was really pleased with how these turned out (and more importantly, so was my girlfriend). Would definitely make them again.
Ingredients
-
1 plantain (very ripe)
-
Liquid from 1 tin of pigeon peas
-
Flour (approx 1 cup)
-
Black pepper
Cooking Instructions
-
1
Peel plantain and mash in a bowl
-
2
Add about half the bean liquid, half a cup of flour done black pepper (and salt too if the bean liquid is unsalted) and mix well.

3
Add more liquid and or flour as required and mix until you have a thick batter. If you have done it like I did, you won't be able to pour the batter, you will have to spoon it into the pan.

4
Spoon a pancake-sized blob of batter into a frying pan (I used a medium heat and no oil). It should form a 1cm-thick pancake. You might have to flatten it with a spoon.

5
Cook on each side for about 2 mins. It will go a satisfying brown color. Mine seemed quite resistant to burning, so I cooked them more to make sure they were done in the middle.
