A while back from Ruby's Pantry we were given Nigari tofu. It's a super soft, sweet tofu that is pretty much useless in a stir fry. I don't know about you but when I think tofu, I think stir fries. So I had to do a little more research. I had previously used one package in a chocolate mousse kind of thing and that turned out really good. I froze the rest of the tofu and kind of forgot about it.
Then I found this recipe and it was amazing! Since I had to look up the conversions for all the ingredients, I'll list them here:
1 block of nigari tofu
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup flour
3/4 cup milk (could use soy milk to make these vegan)
1/4 cup sugar
a couple drops of vanilla extract
Mix the tofu, milk, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet until combined. Then make pancakes as normal (heat up your pan, add pancake batter, cook until bubbles pop, flip).
These turned out really super good. They were easy with a quick prep (cooking pancakes always takes me FOREVER. I got 15 pancakes out of this, made two at a time, and it still took almost 40 minutes to get them all cooked). I will definitely make again if I ever have more tofu to use up!
