Necessary Ingredients
For Tedi juice:
- 1 apple (preferably juicy, like a Granny Smith or Fuji, for a sweet-tart flavor)
- 1 large carrot (make sure it is fresh and firm)
- 1 large, juicy orange (choose one with smooth skin for the best juice)
- A few drops of lemon juice (for a fresh taste and to prevent the apple from browning)
- 1 teaspoon of honey (optional, to sweeten the juice to taste)
For carrot pancakes:
- Remaining grated carrot
- 1 egg (use a fresh egg for better texture)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar (you can adjust the amount according to your taste)
- A pinch of cinnamon (for a hint of flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of flour (to bind the mixture)
- A little butter and oil for frying (the oil helps achieve a crispy crust)
Step by step to the recipe
1. Preparing Tedi juice
Start by making the Tedi juice, which will be the delicious base of this recipe. Peel the carrot and grate it. Similarly, peel and grate the apple. These ingredients will form a sweet and healthy combination.
Over the grated carrot and apple, squeeze the juice from the orange. Add a few drops of lemon juice for a fresh taste and a splash of honey if desired. Mix all the ingredients well and let them combine for a few minutes. Tedi juice is now ready to be enjoyed, full of vitamins and minerals, perfect for an energy boost!
2. Preparing carrot pancakes
Once you have the juice, focus on the pancakes. Use the remaining grated carrot (about one cup) and add it to a bowl. Beat the egg and add it over the carrot. Then, add the sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Mix well until you get a smooth batter.
3. Frying the pancakes
In a large skillet, add a little butter and 2 drops of oil (the oil will help the pancakes not stick to the pan and achieve a nice crust). Heat the skillet over medium heat. Use a spoon to scoop the mixture and place it in the pan, forming small mounds. Brown the pancakes on both sides for 3-4 minutes until they are golden and crispy.
4. Serving
Once the pancakes are ready, serve them warm alongside the Tedi juice. You can garnish them with a little honey, crushed nuts, or even a spoonful of yogurt for added creaminess. These pancakes are perfect for enjoying at breakfast or as a healthy snack between meals.
Useful tips
- You can experiment with different types of apples or even add a splash of ginger for a spicy flavor.
- If you don’t have cinnamon, you can use vanilla or nutmeg to vary the flavors.
- These pancakes are also great cold, so feel free to save them for a quick snack.
