Method

  1. 1

    Grate. Line 2 trays with baking paper or foil. Grate the 2 onions and 1400 g Jerusalem artichokes in a food processor or on a box grater and tip into a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Whisk. Whisk the 2 eggs with the 2 tbsp maple syrup, 2 tbsp walnut or hazelnut oil, 1½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, a pinch of cayenne and ¼ tsp nutmeg, then pour over the vegetables and mix lightly with your fingers.

  3. 3

    Flour. Sprinkle the 125 g flour over and mix lightly again.

  4. 4

    Shape. Shape into 16 pancakes 8 cm across and about 1 cm thick, setting each on a lined tray.

  5. 5

    Fry. Heat half the 120 ml vegetable oil and 14 g butter in a large frying pan and cook half the pancakes until golden, 5-7 min a side, lowering the heat if they brown too quickly.

  6. 6

    Drain. Drain on kitchen paper, then cook the rest in the remaining oil and 14 g butter.

  7. 7

    Keep. Cover loosely with foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.

Storage

Keep the cooked pancakes loosely covered with foil in a low oven until ready to serve. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
