Basic Vegan Pancakes
Ingredients
10 fl. oz. water
4 fl. oz. soy milk
8 oz. unbleached white flour
1 oz. caster sugar
1 oz. soy flour
Process
Firstly, sift sugar, soy flour, and unbleached flour together and set aside. Take a bowl and add water along with the soy milk to it, mix well, and then gradually add in the dry ingredients.
Mix well after each addition until the batter reaches a pouring consistency. Take a skillet, heat oil until very hot. Drop about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan and tilt the pan immediately so that the batter spreads evenly. Cook the batter until bubbles appear on the surface. When they do, toss the pancake.
If you are not able to toss it, simply flip it with the help of a spatula. Cook from other side also until the sides of the pan are speckled with brown spots. Sprinkle with sugar and lemon juice. Serve hot.
