We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to akara pancakes recipe. To cook akara pancakes you need 7 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you do that.
The ingredients needed to cook Akara Pancakes:
- Get 2 cups beans
- Take Cayenne pepper/scotch bonnet
- Prepare Onions
- Take Salt
- Provide Seasoning cube(just a little and its optional)
- Take Veg/palm oil
- Get Water
Instructions to make Akara Pancakes:
- Soak the beans for 10-15mins and peel(I usually soak in the night, peel and soak again in the fridge till the following morning, I do this whenever I'm using my blender 😊)
- In a blender, add ur beans, pepper, onions and blend together till smooth (if u are using seasoning cube, I suggest u blend with the beans)
- Pour into a bowl and add a little water. The batter shouldn't be thick like akara batter so it can fry easily. It's shouldn't be watery as well, just in-between. Add salt to taste and mix properly(u can also add egg if u want but I tried it once and it didn't taste like akara to me)
- In a non stick pan, heat up 2- 3 tablespoons oil. The akara pancakes need enough oil to fry unlike normal pancakes. The oil also prevent it from sticking to the pan even if it's a non stick pan. Using ⅓ cup of measuring cup, scoop the beans into the pan, shake a little to level up and fry for 1-2 mins. Tilt the pan once in a while for the oil to circulate. When the edges start to get brown, flip and fry again for 2 mins. This should be done on low to medium heat.
- It's take about 4 mins to fry each Pancakes. U can flip 2-3 times until it's golden brown. When it's done, remove, add another 2 tablespoon of oil to the pan and continue frying until u are done… It took me 40mins to fry all but it was worth it. Always make sure the pan has oil in it before frying. I tried frying without oil and it was a disaster, couldn't even get it out.
- When flipping sometimes, the beans may splash into the pan, just use spoon to combine together and continue frying. Also ensure u fry in small sizes so it won't break easily. When done, serve with pap, custard,bread or as a snack. U can easily slide it into bread and eat😊. I hope this helps.
- Enjoy 👌😋.
A few minutes later I perceived the wondrous aroma of akara but when I ran to the kitchen I met these Pancake looking akara. But when I tasted it ehn. I became a believer and Bobo became the official Akara Pancake Chef of the house. Oh by the way, I never really concluded on any "Ajebutter" name…In my sketches I called the mini Akara pancakes "pankara" the crepes "Crepekara"(Thank you Sister Kemi 🙂 ), and the quesadillas "akaradilla." Please don't laugh I got tired of thinking myself into a brain freeze. The Beancake Company is dedicated to bringing the wonderful foods of western Africa to the American market.
