Vegan Pancakes
Description
"Vegan Pancakes" begin by mixing dairy-free milk with vegetable oil, lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar), and vanilla extract. Allowing this mixture to stand softens the milk slightly in acidity, replacing buttermilk. Flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and optional sugar are sifted in and mixed until just combined, leaving slight lumps to maintain a tender texture. The batter is rested again before cooking to enhance volume.
Cooking is done in a greased non-stick pan over medium heat in small rounds. Pancakes are cooked until bubbles form on the surface and edges show golden browning, then flipped to cook through. This method produces pancakes that are golden, tender, and gently spongy without gluten-heavy toughness.
These vegan pancakes serve as a plant-based alternative suitable for diets avoiding dairy and eggs. They can be topped with syrup, fruits, or vegan spreads depending on preference.
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups dairy-free milk almond, soy, etc
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for frying
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or cornflour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons sugar optional
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the milk, oil, lemon juice and vanilla. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Sift in the flour, cornflour and baking powder and mix.
- It will still be slightly lumpy, but don’t over-mix or the pancakes will be tough. Set the mixture aside, letting it rest for 5 minutes for fluffier results.
- Add a drizzle of oil to a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Ladle small rounds onto the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside turns golden. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden.
