Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix - some small lumps are okay and will help keep the pancakes tender.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate, which will help create fluffy pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of vegetable oil or vegan butter if needed.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges start to look dry, typically about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. The pancake should be a nice light golden color.
- Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Tips
- • Let the batter rest for exactly 5 minutes - this is the secret to achieving maximum fluffiness and allowing the baking powder to work its magic.• Don't overmix the batter! Small lumps are your friend and will help create tender, light pancakes.• Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and keep the heat at medium - too hot, and you'll burn the outside before the inside cooks.• Test your pan's temperature by dropping a small amount of water - if it sizzles and dances, you're ready to cook!• For perfectly uniform pancakes, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the batter.• Keep cooked pancakes warm by covering them with a clean kitchen towel while you finish the batch.• Experiment with toppings - fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dusting of powdered sugar can elevate these pancakes from great to extraordinary!
