Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/4 cup plant-based dairy/cheese
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, natural gelling agent, and salt until evenly combined. Setting these dry ingredients properly ensures consistent fluffiness in every pancake.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, plant-based dairy/cheese, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well blended.
- Bring It All Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and gently fold to combine. Stir just until you see the flour disappear; over-mixing can cause dense pancakes instead of fluffy ones.
- Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the surface in small rounds. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm and Enjoy: Stack your fluffy pancakes high and add your favorite toppings or syrups to make every bite delightful.
Notes
- Perfect batter consistency: Aim for a slightly thick but pourable batter to balance fluff and shape.
- Room temperature ingredients: Using room temperature plant-based milk and dairy/cheese helps ingredients blend smoothly.
- Don’t overmix: Stir the batter just enough to combine, leaving lumps ensures fluffiness.
- Preheat your pan: A well-heated pan creates even cooking and golden-brown color.
- Cook on medium heat: Low heat keeps pancakes from burning while cooking through beautifully.
- Flip only once: Flipping pancakes only once protects their airy texture.
