Vegan fluffy pancake mix
If you're vegan or following a dairy-free diet, this easy batter mixture uses simple ingredients to create fluffy American-style pancakes.
Ingredients
For the vegan pancake mix
- 170g/6oz self-raising flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
Per serving of pancakes
- 5 tbsp vegan pancake mix (see above)
- 4 tbsp soya milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 2 tsp light olive oil or rapeseed oil, plus extra for frying
- ¼ tsp cider vinegar
- maple syrup, fresh fruit or jam, to serve
Method
For the mix, combine all the ingredients in an airtight container and shake until thoroughly combined. Store in a cool, dry place until needed.
To make a single serving of pancakes, put the vegan pancake mix into a bowl and make a small well in the centre. Add the liquid ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
Heat a frying pan over a medium–high heat. Use a piece of kitchen paper to wipe a film of oil over the surface. When the pan is hot, add dessertspoonfuls of the batter to the pan (allowing some room for spreading). Cook the pancakes until you can see bubbles forming and popping on the surface and the bottom is a dark golden-brown colour. Flip the pancakes and cook for 1 minute on the other side. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes stacked on plates. Drizzle with maple syrup or serve with fresh fruit or jam. Eat immediately.
Recipe Tips
If you want to make all four servings at once, use 250ml/9fl oz non-dairy milk, 3 tbsp light olive or rapeseed oil and 1 tsp cider vinegar. You can pour this into the container and shake to combine. Just make sure there are no flour pockets left in the mixture.
