The method
Step by step
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
About 2 min
- 2
In a separate medium bowl, combine the plant milk and apple cider vinegar; let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle, creating a vegan 'buttermilk'.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: This step helps activate the baking soda and makes the pancakes fluffier.
- 3
Stir the vegetable oil and vanilla extract into the plant milk mixture.
About 1 min
- 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Do not overmix, as this can lead to tough pancakes.
- 5
Heat a large non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegan butter.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the pan is hot enough before adding batter to get a golden-brown exterior.
- 6
Pour portions of the batter onto the hot pan, one for each pancake.
- 7
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
About 6 min
Cook’s note: Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
- 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan between batches if necessary.
- 9
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
