Discover how to make these delicious Vegan American pancakes by following this easy, delicious recipe. They tick all the boxes you'd want fluffy pancakes to tick, tasting amazing and with a texture to rival any classic recipe.
This recipe uses soya milk and a touch of arrowroot helps the batter bind. The pancakes are fried with a little soya margarine and, once cooked, they're wonderful topped with maple syrup.
If you'd like to make these delicious vegan fluffy pancakes for yourself, here's what to do.
Ingredients
- 300 g (10.58 oz) plain white flour (all purpose flour)
- 8 g (0.28 oz) arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 500 ml (1.06 pint) sweetened soya milk
- 1 tbsp soya margarine plus more to fry if needed
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
- a few tbsp of your favourite syrup
Equipment
Instructions
Mix the flour, arrowroot and baking powder in a large bowl.
Whisk in the milk bit by bit to avoid lumps.
Melt the margarine in a large, nonstick frying pan, then pour it into the batter and mix well.
Whisk in the bicarb.
Heat the pan to a medium-high heat, and cook the pancakes with about 60ml (2 fl oz) per pancake.
They’ll only need around 45 seconds so that they just begin to bubble on top - they should still be quite liquid on top when you flip them to ensure they rise well. Flip over, cook for another 30 seconds then transfer to a plate, stacking as you go.
When all the vegan fluffy pancakes are cooked, drizzle with syrup and serve.
