    Title: Kidney Bean Pufs
    Categories: Fritters
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 c Dry kidney beans -OR-
    30 oz Canned kidney beans (3 c)
    1 Egg; +1 egg white
    1/2 c Heavy cream
    2 tb Butter; +2 tb, divided,
    -melted
    1/4 c Flour
    Salt
    Pepper

    Dry Beans:

    Put 1 c dried beans in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a
    boil. Then add 1/2 ts salt and turn down heat to low. Simmer covered,
    stirring every 15 minutes or so until the beans are tender. For me,
    this took an hour. It might take as little as a half hour if your
    beans have spent less time in the kitchen cupboard or on the
    supermarket shelf. Alternatively, it might take longer than an hour.
    Once cooked, drain the beans. The cooking liquid can be saved to use
    in soups and stews.

    Canned Beans:

    Drain and rinse the beans.

    Pufs:

    Heat a skillet or large frying pan.

    Roughly mash the beans in a large bowl with a potato masher or large
    fork. Add the eggs, cream, and melted butter. Season with ground
    pepper, any additional flavorings you like, and, if using canned
    beans, 1/2 ts salt.

    Add butter to the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Dollop the
    puff batter into the skillet using a 1 tb measure for
    "appetizer-sized" puffs. For larger puffs, use 2 to 3 tb batter per
    puff. Cook for 1 minute on each side until golden brown and slightly
    crispy.

    Serve hot.
