  • 1/3 cup melted salted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk (2%)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 can (341 mL) kernel corn, drained

Directions

  1. Pulse tofu in food processor until finely crumbled. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
  2. Whisk together egg, butter and milk until blended. Add milk mixture to tofu until combined; set aside.
  3. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add flour mixture to tofu mixture. Gently fold in corn and green onion.

Tip:

To make griddle cakes uniform in size, use a cookie cutter or screw band from a mason jar. We find lining the cookie cutter with plastic wrap helps to prevent the batter from sticking 

 

We used Sunrise Extra Firm Tofu (350g) in this recipe.
