How to Make Vegan Pancakes - Fluffy

Everybody likes Pancakes, but without eggs and milk, vegan pancakes are rarely fluffy. This recipe uses no eggs or milk, yet creates vegan pancakes almost an inch thick! This recipe makes about 8 medium pancakes or about 14 dollar-sized pancakes.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 Cup White Flour (Whole Wheat will make denser pancakes)
• 1-2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
• 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 Teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 Cup SoyMilk
• 2 Tablespoons light Oil like corn or safflower
• 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
• 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 medium mixing bowls
• A spoon or ladle
• Spatula
• Hot griddle or pan

1. 

   In one mixing bowl combine all dry ingredients and stir well. In the other mixing bowl combine all wet ingredients and stir well.

2. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula gently. Do not beat or overmix. The batter should be thick and lumpy, not thin and smooth.

3. 
   Pancakes on griddle

   Let the batter sit while you heat up your griddle or pan. Using a non-stick pan or non-stick griddle works well, but some people swear by cast iron pans or griddles. The batter should begin to rise and form bubbles. Do not stir the batter again.

4. `Using a spoon or ladle, scoop out about 2 Tablespoons of batter to make a small pancake, or about 1/8 Cup for a medium pancake onto the grill.
   Allow to cook until bubbles that rise to the surface do not close up, and when the surface turns from shiny to dull; flip the pancake and cook on the other side until lightly browned. A thin spatula works best for flipping pancakes. Stack pancakes on a paper towel until ready to serve. It is preferable to just serve your pancakes as you make them, because if you keep them in a heated oven as some people recommend, they won't end up fluffy. Vegan, yes. Fluffy, no.
   
   Serve with margarine and real Maple Syrup.

Tips & Warnings

• 1/4 Teaspoon of any spice, such as cinnamon, ginger or nutmeg can be added to the dry ingredients of your pancakes.
• 1 Tablespoon of ground nuts or flaked coconut can be added to the dry ingredients.
• Flavoured SoyMilk can be used for extra flavour.
• 1/2 Cup of fresh or frozen blueberries can be added to the wet ingredients.
• If you do not have Lemon Juice, other citrus juice like Orange can be used, or even carbonated sparkling water can be substituted.
• Make sure your Baking Soda and Baking Powder are fresh, or your pancakes will not be fluffy.
