The second I saw this post in my Google Reader, I knew it was going to be the next brvnch staple. I think they spoke for themselves. They are finicky though - your measurements need to be pretty exact. The batter should be thick, like cake (that’s what she said?) and your heat level matters, otherwise they’ll burn a little before they puff (but they’ll still be yummy!)
ingredients
- 1 1/2 C all purpose flour (unbleached)
- 3 1/2 t baking powder
- 2 T sugar
- 1 t salt
- 1 C almond milk
- 2 t apple cider vinegar
- 1 T flax seeds
- 1/2 C water
- 3 T canola oil
- 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
instrux
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Make a well in the center
- In a measuring cup, mix the almond milk, vinegar and ground flax seeds. Wisk until foamy. This might take a minute or so. I used an actual wisk.
- Pour the milk mixture into the center of the dry ingredients. Add the water, canola oil and vanilla and use a fork to mix until a thick, lumpy batter forms. This should take about a minute. It doesn’t need to be sooth, just mixed.
- Preheat the pan over medium-low heat and let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Lightly coat the pan in oil. Add 1/3 C of batter for each pancake (or less) and cook for about 4 minutes until puffy. Then flip. You should add oil between flipping.
- Put pancakes on a cooling rack covered with tin foil.
MAKES: About 6 pancakes (depending on how large you make them)
