Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

SAUCE:

2 cups frozen blueberries -- thawed

1/4 cup light brown sugar -- to taste (1/4 to 1/3)

1 dash lemon juice

2 tablespoons cornstarch

PANCAKE BATTER:

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 egg substitutes -- beaten

1 1/4 cups water

1 cup soy milk

2 tablespoons safflower oil

FILLING:

5 1/2 pounds soft tofu -- well mashed

3 tablespoons honey -- or to taste

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

 

Combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a food processor. Pulse on

and off until the blueberries are coarsely chopped. Sprinkle in the cornstarch

and pulse on and off a few more times. Transfer the mixture to a saucepan and

bring to a simmer. Simmer until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat

and let cool to room temperature. The filling may be done ahead of time and

refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.

 

Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine the egg

substitute with the water, soymilk, and oil. Stir until well blended. Make a

well in the flour and pour the wet mixture in. Stir vigorously just until

smoothly combined -- don't overbeat.

 

Heat a 6- or 7-inch nonstick skillet. When it is hot enough to make a drop of

water sizzle, drop a scant 1/4 cupful of batter in and swirl it around until it

coats the skillet. Cook on both sides until golden. Remove to a plate and repeat

until the batter is used up.

 

Combine the ingredients for the filling in a small mixing bowl. If the " cheese "

seems very dry, add a bit of soy milk to give it a creamier consistency. Divide

the mixture among the pancakes and fold as instructed in the accompanying

illustration. Serve at room temperature, passing the sauce around for guests to

spoon over their blintzes.

NOTES : Hanukkah desserts, such as jelly donuts, are traditionally deep-fried

but since this meal includes fried latkes, it might be prudent to opt for the

Jewish classic, cheese blintzes. These, too, are appropriate to this holiday,

since cheese delicacies are a typical offering.
