How to make pumpkin pancakes or Carnival tortillas

We start the recipe by preparing the pumpkin. To do this, we peel 250 g of pumpkin, cut it into pieces and cook it steamed or in water for about 20 or 30 minutes.

The time may vary, therefore, when we verify that the pumpkin can be easily punctured, we remove it from the pot. If we have cooked it, we drain it well, trying to keep as little water as possible. We prepare the rest of the ingredients.

We put the well-drained cooked pumpkin in the blender glass with the rest of the ingredients: 100 g of all-purpose flour sifted with 5 g of baking powder, 30 ml of milk, 2 eggs, 50 g of sugar and 15 ml of anise.

We beat everything well until we get a homogeneous cream. Let the mixture rest in the fridge for half an hour.

Once the resting time has passed, we begin to make the pancakes: we put a frying pan on the fire with 1 tablespoon of oil and we are making the pancakes. For each pancake, we deposit about 30 or 40 ml of dough. Depending on the size of our frying pan, we will make more or less pancakes together at a time.

We let the pancakes fry for about 3 or 4 minutes and turn around. Let them cook for another 3 minutes on the other side and remove them to a plate lined with kitchen paper to remove excess oil. We repeat the process until the dough is finished.

Once the pumpkin pancakes or Carnival tortillas are ready, we place them in a bowl and serve them alone or with a little honey.
