📝 Preparation Steps
1
Clean and Roast: If using fresh raw peanuts, wash them thoroughly in cold water to remove any garden soil. Spread them in a large, heavy-bottomed pan and roast over medium heat (or an open fire), stirring constantly until the shells are brittle and the nuts inside are golden and fragrant.
2
Peeling: Once cooled, remove the shells and rub the peanuts between your hands to loosen the red skins. Use a shallow tray to toss the peanuts in the air, allowing the breeze to blow away the light papery skins.
3
Traditional Milling: Divide your roasted peanuts into two portions. Take 700 g and grind them through a stone mill (quern) or a high-powered food processor until they release their natural oils and turn into a thick, smooth paste. Keep the remaining 300 g of whole roasted peanuts aside.
4
Caramelize: In a wide pan, melt the sugar over medium heat without stirring until it turns a deep amber color.
5
Combine with Dairy: Carefully whisk in the butter until melted, then slowly pour in the heavy cream. Continue to whisk until the sauce is glossy and smooth.
6
The Final Blend: Stir the ground peanut paste into the caramel until fully incorporated. Finally, fold in the whole roasted peanuts to create a sweet, chunky peanut sauce. Transfer into sterilized glass jars.
7
Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale and frothy.
8
Incorporate Liquids: Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to whisk to ensure a consistent base.
9
Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and baking powder into the wet mixture. Fold gently at first, then whisk vigorously until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. It should have a thick, pourable consistency.
10
Hearth Frying: Heat a lightly oiled skillet over a medium flame. Ladle small amounts of batter into the pan to form individual rounds.
11
Flip and Gold: Cook until small bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute until both sides are perfectly golden brown.
12
Serving: Serve the pancakes warm, generously topped with the sweet handmade peanut caramel and a side of fresh village cream.
