Step 1

For the Aquafaba, beat the chickpea cooking water with a pinch of salt for a few minutes until the jelly-like liquid turns into a white, fluffy, and firm foam that looks and feels like egg whites. It takes about 7 minutes to whip, at least longer than with egg whites. I do this with my food processor with the whisk attachment.

Step 2

Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate container: first the flour, sugar, and salt. Then, while stirring, slowly add the liquids so that no lumps form. Then fold in the aquafaba (fold in = gently work in and do not stir wildly).

Step 3

Next, fry the batter. With this amount of batter, I do it in two steps. Everything that is described below is listed for each step:

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil or butter in the pan.

Step 5

If you are using raisins, add about 1 tablespoon to the pan.

Step 6

Now add half of the batter and slowly fry it out.

Step 7

After a few minutes, when the downside is brownish, use a spatula to quarter the batter and turn each piece over.

Step 8

Now add ½ tbsp oil or vegan butter.

Step 9

Continue frying until the second side turns brown too.

Step 10

Then tear the pancake-like piece into smaller pieces and let them fry a little more. Stir. Just before serving, sprinkle some icing sugar on top and stir so that the sugar can caramelize.

Step 11

Place the pieces onto a plate, sprinkle with icing sugar, and serve with compote, apple sauce, or stewed plums.

Step 12

Wash, clean and peel the rhubarb (simply peel off the thin outer skin with your fingernails) and cut into pieces approx. 2 cm in size.

Step 13

Mix the rhubarb pieces with the sugar and vanilla sugar in a bowl and let them steep for an hour. Some liquid should collect in the process.

Step 14

Wash and clean the strawberries and cut them in halves or quarters depending on the size.

Step 15

Bring the rhubarb and the liquid (without adding any additional water) to boil in a saucepan and let simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 16

Remove a little of the liquid (approx. 1-2 tbsp) and mix with the starch.

Step 17

Pour this mixture back into the pot, bring to the boil again and stir.

Step 18

Then add the strawberries and let everything cool down together.
