Cooking pea pancakes
1. Sort the peas, removing the spoiled grains. Rinse and soak in water for 8 hours to swell and cook well. If possible, change the water 2-3 times during this time so that the peas do not ferment. Soaking water should be 3 times more than peas.

4. Use a blender to grind the peas into a homogeneous mass. This process can also be done with a crush.
5. Place the butter in a saucepan and beat in the egg.
