Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups (300 ml) plant-based milk
- 2 tbsps granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsps vegetable oil
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit
- Peanut butter
- Almond butter
- Vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Dry Ingredient Fusion: Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl until completely integrated, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Liquid Component Preparation: Blend plant-based milk, vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and oil in a separate container. Let the mixture rest for five minutes to activate chemical interactions that enhance batter texture.
- Batter Consolidation: Form a central depression in dry ingredients and pour liquid mixture into the crater. Gently fold components together using minimal strokes, stopping precisely when flour streaks disappear to preserve pancake tenderness.
- Griddle Preparation: Preheat non-stick surface to medium heat, lightly brushing with oil or plant-based butter to prevent sticking. Ensure even temperature distribution across cooking surface.
- Batter Deployment: Pour measured batter portions onto heated griddle, allowing sufficient spacing between pancakes for optimal expansion and uniform cooking.
- Cooking Precision: Monitor pancake surface for emerging bubbles and slightly dried edges, signaling the perfect flipping moment. Carefully rotate each pancake, cooking opposite side until achieving a uniform golden-brown coloration.
- Serving Presentation: Transfer completed pancakes to a warmed plate, stacking gently. Embellish with preferred toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or plant-based whipped cream, serving immediately to maintain peak texture and temperature.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir batter gently and minimally to keep pancakes light and fluffy, stopping when just combined without flour streaks.
- Vinegar Activation: Let wet ingredients sit for 5 minutes to allow plant-based milk to curdle, creating a buttermilk-like texture that enhances rising and tenderness.
- Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat on griddle to ensure even cooking and golden-brown exterior without burning pancake surfaces.
- Bubble Watching: Look for bubbles forming across pancake surface and slightly dried edges as perfect flipping indicators for optimal texture and doneness.
