**This recipe makes the best waffles ever, according to its creator, but scales poorly because it includes okara, a somewhat exotic ingredient.**
|

|

|
Okara
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
*Okara* is the insoluble coarse residue (hulls, cotyledon, washed-out cotyledons) of soybeans left over from the production of soymilk or tofu (boiling, mashing, straining soybeans).
|
||
|
|
Okara is a flavorless, grainy porridge, and still contains much of what makes soybeans such a fantastic food (and not just for young soy plants): fiber, protein, fat, and all sorts of phytochemicals like lecithin (and we forget there's no egg in this recipe at all).
|
||
|
|
But it's also quickly perishable. Regular soymilk self-cookers know the problem of where to put it, so they get creative by necessity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So this waffle recipe was actually created as a leftover Okara.
|
||
|
|
Thus the dough quantity of this recipe results naturally from the size of the soy milk machine.
|
||
|
|
Surprisingly, there is no real substitute for okara, and it is also difficult to make or keep large quantities of it on hand.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Accordingly, this recipe scales poorly, and is not large-use tested. Alpha edition!
|
||

Okara produce
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
If you don't have a soy milk maker, this can also be done with occidental household remedies:
|
||
|
|
Soak `150 g soybeans` for a couple of hours, then add fresh water to `1.5 L` and boil for 10 to 15 minutes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then grind with a blender/puree (not too fine) and strain the soy milk through cheesecloth or a fine sieve.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The filtrate is the longed for okara.
|
||
|
|
Each batch yields, in addition to 1.3 L of delicious DIY soy milk, about 250 g of okara.

Ingredients
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
250 g okara
|
||
|
|
150 mL vegetable oil (rapeseed, sunflower, ...)
|
||
|
|
200 g flour
|
||
|
|
150 g sugar
|
||
|
|
50 g sourdough (wheat is preferred, but rye is also possible)
|
||
|
|
1/4 yeast cube
|
||
|
|
q.s. water (to adjust consistency)
|
||
|
|
1 tsp psyllium husk flour (optional)
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Special tools
|
||
|
|
=================
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Soy milk machine (or blender/blender and large strainer/cheesecloth).
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Preparation
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
First mix the sourdough, yeast and okara (see above, should be at room temperature) with the oil (magic: the lecithin from the soybeans ensures that the oil then no longer settles), then stir in the sugar and wait briefly until it has largely dissolved. The mass becomes a little glassy and thinner.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then stir in the flour in several steps, adding water again and again if necessary to obtain the optimum wafer batter consistency at the end.
|
||
|
|
Let rise for at least half an hour, then check dough consistency again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The waffles bake out very easily and quickly, brown nicely, and become very crisp-tender.
|
||

Product information
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
**Flour:** Any flour will do, from 405 white flour to home-ground organic spelt, or blends with rice, buckwheat or lentil flour, rolled oats, starch, etc.! Only in the end should be at least half wheat(variety) in it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Flea seed hull flour** is a real secret ingredient. If desired, it should be stirred into the flour beforehand, because otherwise it clumps properly.
|
||
|
|
This stuff makes the waffles very tender/crispy (with short/long baking time), and the yield (number of waffles per kilogram of dough) increases.

Okara, the secret magic ingredient for the best waffles!
|
||
|
|
Must be wrested laboriously from the soybeans, but is worth the effort!
