Here are those beancakes that I was talking about on Diana's page. I don't know many, if any, native Kentuckians who don't like good old soup beans along with cornbread or biscuits. About the second or third day after you've made your beans when the soup part starts to thicken is the perfect time to make your beancakes. So while your oil is heating (like all good Spanish cooks I use olive oil, but the cooking quality and not the olive oil for salads), mix enough flour into your beans to make a very stiff batter. Drop them by tablespooons into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Using papers towels drain off the excess oil if you so desire. You can serve these delicacies with vegetables, rice, etc. However, remember beans were, and are for me, a substitute for meat. With these delicious beancakes, who needs meat? Now that everybody knows that this is the recipe I don't have, I'm going to go over to Post Secret for a read. Later on we're going to the park that we always used to go to so I'll take some photos of the almond trees. Hope everybody has a good week.
Have a great day hun. A walk in the park sounds wonderful but ole man winter is clinging to us for all that he's worth. Enjoy! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteyummy i do my pinto beans like that, we always come then bean pattie's, I like putting texas pete on mine when they get to my plate lol.. yummy
ReplyDeleteOMGosh this made me sad, because my Dad would have liked this, and it never occurred to me to make fried bean cakes for him. We made salmon patties, and fried potato cakes, but never once his beloved beans. My Dad had to have pinto beans everyday...every_day!....AND "No"... Never, ever do I remember my Dad needing beano....LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Cornbread crumbs or saltine cracker crumbs in the place of flour, egg, and diced onion might be an interesting variation.
Greeneyes, Daddy would have liked having his feet under your table too...LOL He loved Tx Pete. He ate hot peppers like candy out of the jar, my mother canned for just him. He also ate them right out of the garden.
Your bean cakes look so light colored. Did you use butterbeans? I tend to cook a lot of beans, mostly pinto and butterbeans. The last butterbeans I bought, said ' dried limas' on the package. Still tastes the same, no matter what they call them. lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda for sharing your beancake recipe. My Dad would have like them, too!
