Beef Tripe Pancakes & Waffles

Batter Instructions:

Add the Pressure Cooked Beef Tripe,  bone broth and tallow to a pan, with a pinch of salt (optional).

Place the pan on a low heat and mix often until all of the tallow has melted.

Remove the pan from the heat and carefully pour the contents into a high-speed blender and blend for 20-30 seconds until the mixture is nice and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool down slightly.

Meanwhile, separate the egg whites from the egg yolks and place the egg yolks in a glass bowl.

Use an electric  hand whisk or a manual whisk and beat the eggs for a minute or so.

Once the tripe mixture has cooled down slightly, slowly pour a very small amount of it into the egg mixture and whisk until well incorporated.

Continue to add small amounts of the tripe mixture at a time into the eggs while whisking.

Once all the mixture has been incorporated, split the batter into 2 separate bowls. Add a little honey to one bowl for a slightly sweeter pancake or waffle (Optional).

For 2 x Pancakes:

Heat up a small amount of tallow in a non stick frying pan (suitable for making pancakes) on medium heat. Once the tallow has melted, use a pastry brush to ensure the entire surface of the frying pan has been coated fully with the melted tallow.

You can now simply pour in half the contents of 1 bowl, into the centre of the frying pan.

Allow the pancake to cook for a minute or so, before flipping the pancake over with a spatula.

Allow the pancake to cook for a further minute or so and then remove the pancake on to a serving plate.

Repeat the process to make the second pancake using the remaining 1/2 of the batter in the bowl.

Add the topping options described below or something else that you fancy.

For 2 x Waffles:

Grease the waffle plates with tallow or lard using a pastry brush.

Switch on the waffle maker and allow it to heat up.

Once the waffle maker is ready to use, pour half of the contents of the 'batter' in the 2nd bowl on to one plate of the waffle maker and the other half onto the other plate (if your machine only makes one waffle at a time, then just repeat the process).

Close the waffle maker lid and check every minute or so, to ensure the waffle is cooked to your liking.

Remove the waffles and place them on to a serving plate.

Add the topping options described below or something else that you fancy.

Toppings:

I chose to top my pancakes with Liver Parfait which I spread over the bases. I then added a few strips of cooked Pork Tenderloin, a small dollop of homemade apple sauce and some grated tallow.

For the waffles, I simply added some Slow Cooker Oxtail to the waffle bases and then grated some cold tallow over the top.
